How to find the configuration panel?

iain_downsiain_downs Member Posts: 38 ✭✭
This article says there is a Configuration option which sounds just what I want  It tells me to look below the view cube for a cube with a grid.

I can't see it.

Failing that is there any way I can export a part so that I can see the feature script movements?  I'm looking to build a drill case and therefore want 10 or so pieces for 1mm -> 10mm.  I can see in principle how to do this, but working out the exact sequence of feature script commands for this would be tedious.

Many thanks 

Iain

    I've just discovered 'view code' (right click on tab) so the second part of my question has been answered...

    Though frankly, the code is typical of machine generated code and not hugely readable :(

    Apologies, our help documentation got a little ahead of our released functionality.  Configurations will be released soon.
    It *is* going to be a happy new year!

    @konstantin_shiriazdanov, please will you write a time travel feature-script so we can use it before OS release it...

    Hi @konstantin_shiriazdanov, happy new year!

    We currently don't have a plan to make the tables (like in sheet metal and what's coming up for configs) available as a feature parameter -- array parameters (https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/6826/improvements-to-onshape-july-6th-2017/p1) are the closest thing.  However, our plans are flexible -- we'd just need a few compelling use cases.  What would you use them for?

    P.S. I very much doubt anyone using your custom features is tired of you trying to build more - gratitude is the more likely sentiment :)

    Happy new year @ilya_baran
    in particular I'm speaking about Parameter pattern FS, if table type input was avaliable we could pass more data in less area without unnecessary symbols like array brackets

    I'm sure the users are full of gratitude, I'd read Konstantin's comment as OS staff being fed up with being asked for more.   :) But in a smaller way I'm always delighted when folks like my stuff and ask for more features.
