Colors in Featurescript

marcus_bernstein

Hey Onshape people-

I'm working on a project for competitive robotics and it would be pretty sweet if I could set the color of a part/extrude in featurescript. The standard documentation doesn't seem to have functionality for it and a quick search didn't turn up anything, but any help that you can provide would be much appreciated!

I'm new to the forums so sorry if I missed anything big or didn't catch a previous answer to this question.

This is not yet implemented, sorry.  It is planned soon, though possibly not soon enough for your project...

Just following up on this question, has this been implemented yet? I am interested in changing the color of a line if have created using FeatureScript (specifically using to OpFitSpline function).

You can change the colours of parts, but not sketch geometry.

Why the down-vote?

@owen_sparks be carefull, look like you have a musterious foe. The more posts you write the more downvotes he would be able to make

Unfortunately, we can't know who votes, but I give you 2 up votes in compensation
I've even looked over if there is something about it in the vanilla forums, which I think is the one used here... but without results

This is possible through the new `setProperty(...)` call:
https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/library.html#setProperty-Context-map

setProperty(context, {
            "entities" : someQuery,
            "propertyType" : PropertyType.APPEARANCE,
            "value" : color(1.0, 0.5, 0.2)
        });

@Jake_RosenfeldI believe @vikram_babu080is asking about changing a line colour not a part colour.

Cheers,

Hi @vikram_babu080

There is currently no way to change the color of an edge in Onshape (in FeatureScript or from the UI).  If you would like to see this functionality implemented please add an improvement request on the Improvement Requests section of this forum.



Something that may be helpful in the meantime:
https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/library.html#debug-Context-

If you call `debug(context, edgeQuery)` in FeatureScript it will turn the edge red.  The red will only appear when the feature dialog for your feature is open though.  Once the user presses the green check mark, the red will go away and the edge will be black again.
