Enum used as a parameter type must be exported?

Aaron_HooverAaron_Hoover Member Posts: 35 EDU
I am trying to use the BoundingType enum in a Featurescript that I'm developing that includes an extrude. I keep getting the error "Enum used as a parameter type must be exported" when I try to use the BoundingType like so: 

annotation { "End Type" : "End Type" }
definition.endType is BoundingType; 

The BoundingType enum seems to be used without issue in the Featurescript mentioned in this post about extruding a profile. What am I missing?

    Yep. That did it. I didn't realize I needed to preceded the import with "export." Thank you.

    I would suggest just exporting the enum you need.
    export import(path : "onshape/std/boundingtype.gen.fs", version : "937.0");

    I agree with Morgan -- adding the export to geometry.fs was the simplest solution, not the best one.
