FeatureScript versions

sloan_thrasher · April 29

I'm new to FeatureScript, but an experienced programmer familiar with many languages, but having trouble finding some specific useful documentation.

I can't find proper information regarding the versions available for the version statement at the start of a script, and versions. The only references I've found show things like 123.4, which the editor says "integer required".

I also haven't been able to find a list of "standard" files that can be included and what they provide, what is their intended purpose.

I have tried Google and even ChatGBT to see if it can find this info, but no luck so far.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The versions that you can use are the names of the versions in the standard library. The imports of standard library items are then done with

import(path : "onshape/std/box.fs", version : "2641.0");, where box.fs is replaced with the name of the tab in the standard library and the version matches. Non-standard-library imports can be done with the import button at the top. They import with various 24-character ids.

Note that the main FeatureScript 1234; at the top is actually a language version. Generally it should match the current version of the standard library (A quick way to find out is to use FeatureScript 9999 and then inspect the parser error, which gives you a maximum version).

For example, this is what the start of onshape/std/debug.fs looks like:
