Is there a way to draw a zig zag or wavy line in Onshape?

I've searched the web multiple times, but without any luck. It seems other programs that work on vector/math based models (like Illustrator) has tool support for that, as demonstrated in this video: https://youtu.be/z0PD9ifGtHc, but I can't find any equivalent in Onshape.

Hi @lundmikkel like you say it is easy in vector drawing programs. To do that in a parametric CAD system you will have to sketch it. You can use equal constraints and pattern to help you though.

Following what @NeilCooke said. Take a look at this document. If you make a copy and edit the sketch you can modify the "2X" to instance the pattern to as long as you want.
