featurescript

Hi,

The code is available here https://cad.onshape.com/documents/12312312345abcabcabcdeff/w/a855e4161c814f2e9ab3698a/e/b4277d7ee5ca49a493856c34 but how do we search in it ?

The lack of doc of featurescript could be mitigated by an easy way to search in the code.
Could we download a zip and grep locally in it ?

For exemple, I'm looking for how to use the skConstraint with RADIUS.
Which file should I look for ?

Thank you,

NeilCooke

Hi @pierre_gr

If you look under the help menu in Onshape you will see an entry called "FeatureScript documentation”. Also, while in a Feature Studio (or the std doc) you can use the search tool (top right, looks like a magnifying glass) to search the entire Document.

The search tool is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you,

When writing custom feature, it is better to avoid using constraints, just specify radius in skCircle or 3 points in skArc.
If for any reason Radius constraint is important, here is the pattern:
skConstraint(sketch, "radiusConstraint", { "constraintType" : ConstraintType.RADIUS, "localFirst" : "circle1", "length" : 20 * millimeter });
where "circle1" is id of the circle you want to constraint.
