Trouble with default values in feature script

  This will get you a parameter with a range of 0-1000 and a default of 60.

  annotation { "Name" : "Wheel Diameter"}
  isLength(definition.diameter, { (millimeter) : [0, 60, 1000] } as LengthBoundSpec);

  Hi Matt, thanks so much for the comment, it worked great! I am not sure why my previous comment didn't go through, but I hope to asked if you might have a similar solution for a simple integer value?

  That worked awesome for the two distances!! Thanks!!!

  Any chance you know how to do something similar with a quantity?

      // Quantity
      annotation { "Name" : "# of joiners", "Default" : 1 }
      isInteger(definition.quantity, POSITIVE_COUNT_BOUNDS);

  If you are starting to write FeatureScript, get familiar with the standard library here:
  https://cad.onshape.com/documents/12312312345abcabcabcdeff/v/abf8418eca794c31e027950d/e/87b09e244a234eb791b47826
  

  It is documented here:
  https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/library.html#module-valueBounds.fs
  

  What you are looking for is the valueBounds.fs which describes the LengthBoundSpec @Matt_Shields helped you with but also the IntegerBoundSpec which is the next thing you are looking for.
  

  Also take this course if you haven't already. It's not going to take you to the full depths of FeatureScript but it will get you started:
  https://learn.onshape.com/courses/featurescript-fundamentals

  I also strongly recommend getting a local repo of the Onshape std library. It makes searching much quicker:

  @jnewth's resources are exactly what you need. Take the time to read through the FS documentation. If you look here:

  https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/library.html#RealBoundSpec

  You should be able to come up with the code you need. Something like:

  annotation { "Name" : "My Length"}
  isLength(definition.myLength, { (millimeter) : [0, 10, 1000] } as LengthBoundSpec);
          
  annotation { "Name" : "My Integer"}
  isInteger(definition.myInteger, { (unitless) : [0, 20, 1000] } as IntegerBoundSpec);
