E.g. this custom feature measures the distance between two points, in inches, and logs it to the console
<div>annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Distance in Inches" } </div><div>export const inchDistance = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map) </div><div> precondition </div><div> { </div><div> annotation { "Name" : "Points", "Filter" : EntityType.VERTEX, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 2 } </div><div> definition.points is Query; </div><div> } </div><div> { </div><div> if (size(evaluateQuery(context, definition.points)) == 2) </div><div> { </div><div> var result = evDistance(context, { </div><div> "side0" : qNthElement(definition.points, 0), </div><div> "side1" : qNthElement(definition.points, 1) </div><div> }); </div><div> println("Distance in inches is: " ~ (<b>result.distance / inch</b>)); </div><div> } </div><div> }); </div>TVP, Onshape R&D
println("" ~ inch);
