FeatureScript naming complete parts

ken_kaiser

Moving on to assembly I was renaming the default Part 1 value of everything.

Question or request to rename a completed part, for example in the brick or spur gear, it creates a finished body, the default Part 1 isn't very descriptive. Granted it could be subtracted to get the negative, but including/adding that subtraction operation in FeatureScript would give you a single body again to name when complete.

@ken_kaiser Hi, FeatureScript does not have the ability to change part studios n terms of names of parts etc. It is run in a very tight sandbox for security reasons. One thing you could do is use the API to achieve this. Or alternatively there is a BoM app that is free and can change part names. Hope this helps.

Example: assignPartName(query)   // internally checks if the EntityType.BODY

We can do combine a loop and qNthElement to iterate over every solid, but if you wanted to make it easy that would be a bonus. An array of names matching the number of bodies?

setProperty(context, {
   "entities" : part,
   "propertyType" : PropertyType.NAME,
   "value" : name
});<br>
