FeatureScript Library(ies)

StephenG

Is there going to be official FeatureScript library(ies) that are going to be managed by Onshape?

Things appear to be the "Wild West" right now with no structure to facilitate distribution and maintenance of FeatureScripts.  

From what I can determine anyone can create a FeatureScript and make it available through a public "Document". But how do I find the magic one I need that has already been written, tested, with formal documentation on how to use it?

How do I get notified that a new version of a FeatureScript I am using is available?

@stephen_gertsch only features created by Onshape are managed and tested by Onshape, but we do keep a list of the ones users have submitted to me to be included on our web page onshape.com/featurescript 

if a Featurescript has changed you are notified by an update icon next to the feature icon in the UI.

Try this website: featurescripts.bubbleapps.io

@mbartlett,

My question was addressed somewhat in the April, 12th 2018 Webinar: https://www.onshape.com/videos/what-are-custom-features-and-where-do-i-find-them-041218

What is the difference between  http://featurescripts.bubbleapps.io/ and https://www.onshape.com/features/custom-features?

Who maintains featurescripts.bubbleapps.io?

@StephenG
If you sign up for an account, you can add features to it and delete/edit features you add.
The website uses Bubble and is created by me

It currently has 107 featurescripts, twice what the Onshape featurescript page has

@dany_maruani - I made that script especially for the webinar - I will post a link to it, but it has only been tested for that specific scenario, so I can't guarantee the quality.
