evaluateQuery gives runtime error

peter_morris

Hi,

I'm trying to create my own featurescript to produce a helical gear - primarily as a learning exercise.  Its exercising me!!

I'm developing the code in stages and the current iteration is shown below.  The problem I'm experiencing is that the generation fails and Featurescript reports: 'Call evaluateQuery(Context, undefined) does not match evaluateQuery(..., Query).

I've copied code from the Spur Gear FeatureScript example and apart from changing the name from definition.circle to definition.myCircle I can't see the difference that should cause this problem. I believe the precondition is fundamentally the same as in the Spur Gear example as is the calculation of the location (I've tried to highlight both pieces of code in the code below).

I'd be really grateful for any advice.

Many thanks.

Peter

Notice spelling difference between "myCentre" in precondition and "myCenter" in evaluateQuery() call

am I allowed to say I love you!!! how unbelievably simple - I was looking for syntax, structure, anything - never thought to check the spelling!!

Many thanks Lana, very much appreciated.
