What does NO_ERROR mean?

I'm trying to use skEllipticalArc in a feature, but every time I give it a center that is not the origin (0,0) it produces NO_ERROR and doesn't create the arc.



Here is the simplest code that reproduces it:
<div>FeatureScript 581;</div><div>import(path : "onshape/std/geometry.fs", version : "581.0");</div><div><br></div><div>annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Test" }</div><div>export const myFeature = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; precondition</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; {</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; // Define the parameters of the feature type</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; }</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; {</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; var sketch1 = newSketch(context, id + "sketch1", {</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "sketchPlane" : qCreatedBy(makeId("Top"), EntityType.FACE)</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; });</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; skEllipticalArc(sketch1, "ellipticalArc1", {</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "center" : vector(2, 0) * inch,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "majorAxis" : vector(1, 0) * inch,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "minorRadius" : 1 * inch,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "majorRadius" : 2 * inch,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "startParameter" : 0,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "endParameter" : 0.25</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; });</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; skSolve(sketch1);</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; });</div><div></div>
Is this a bug? How can I create an arc where the center is somewhere other than the origin?

    It turns out that this is a bug. When sketching interactively, none of the arguments to skEllipticalArc are used, so I never noticed that one of them doesn't work properly. As a temporary workaround, it's possible to use skSetInitialGuess. skSetInitialGuess takes in a sketch and a map of sketch entity ids to arrays. This is used to place those entities in the sketch. Using it would look something like this.
            var sketch = newSketch(context, id + "sketch1", {
                    "sketchPlane" : qCreatedBy(makeId("Top"), EntityType.FACE)
                });
                
            const initialGuess = { "ellipticalArc" : [2, 0, sqrt(2) / 2, sqrt(2) / 2, 1, 0.5, 0, 3] };
                
            skEllipticalArc(sketch, "ellipticalArc", { });
            
            skSetInitialGuess(sketch, initialGuess);
            skSolve(sketch);
    The initial guess data for an elliptical arc is in this format: [center x, center y, major axis x, major axis y, major radius, minor radius, start parameter, end parameter] All distances are in meters, the parameter's domain is [0, 2 pi], and the major axis will not be normalized for you unlike with the skEllipticalArc function.

    The fix for this went out in our last update.  Like many fixes, it only affects new and upgraded Part Studios.
