  And why can't we name sketches? That's so far beyond insane I can't even comprehend it. It undermines all basis for organization.

  @asher_haig , And why can't we name sketches? : Can you let us know what you tried? You should be able to set the name of the sketch at creation see this example : https://onshape-public.github.io/docs/api-adv/featureaccess/#create-a-sketch-via-querystring or if you want to update the name of a sketch (or any other feature) see this example : https://onshape-public.github.io/docs/api-adv/featureaccess/#update-a-feature

  How can it be done in Featurescript rather than via an external URL call?

  I'm looking for something sane like:

  var sketch = newSketchOnPlane(context, sketch_id, {
      "Name" : "Neck Relief Sketch",
      "sketchPlane" : plane
  });
  sketch.name = "Neck Relief Sketch";
  

  Also, why doesn't it simply use the already provided "Name" parameter? This seems so basic.

  Hi Asher, Currently we do not have the ability to set sketch feature names via FeatureScript. I created an improvement request for this.

  newSketchOnPlane has no "Name" parameter, as far as I know. It *is* a fair point that the Sketch 1, etc. under the feature can't be named; feel free to vote on the improvement request.
