Having troubles with: skCircle(Sketch, Id (array), map) does not match skCircle(..., string, ...)

darren_13

the id: id+'circle1'+keys

debugs to: Id : [ "FIZxwPCJn00T9Nq_1" , "circle1" , "0" ]

I presume the issue is that it is an array of strings however this is valid for a sketch so I am puzzled. The link is: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/95877be3b17f49277e87a2c3/w/b503830fd20472014beb1221/e/4c4431103f44e823aca947dd

the feature script is 'Wing Structure Parametric' in folder 'Wing Structure Creator (prac)'

Thanks in advance,
Darren

FeatureScript has two kinds of ids. Operation ids (including the id passed into newSketchOnPlane) are the Id type, which is a hierarchical array of strings. But inside of sketches, ids are just plain strings. skCircle is expecting a string, and you're giving it an array with the Id type.

In FS, the ~ operator joins values as strings, so you'll probably want to use something like id ~ 'circle1' ~ keys

Thanks again @kevin_o_toole_1 !

Just to expand a little on Kevin's comment.  Operation ids have to be of the shape id + ... ( where id is the id argument of custom feature), they have to be unique within the context( == within part studio), while sketch entity id in skXXX functions are strings and need to be unique within the sketch.
e.g. It is valid to do something like:
var sketch = newSketchOnPlane(context, id + "sketch1,..)
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i += 1)
{
    skCircle(sketch, "circle_" ~ i, ..);
}
skSolve(sketch);

sketch = newSketchOnPlane(context, id + "sketch2,..);
skCircle(sketch, "circle_1", '..)
skSolve(sketch);

Ah, cheer's @lana that makes my job easier. Cheers for the follow-up
