The FRC community has a lot of Onshape users who have written some great FRC-specific and general purpose Featurescripts in need of icons, such as the ones by Julia Schatz that you can find here. While I have not written any myself, I'm sure the owners and users would be grateful if you care to lend your artistic talent.
I don't know why it makes such a big difference for me to have them, but it does. For some of the ones where I haven't been able to reach the feature author to add it (especially ones that aren't actively being updated), I'm considering just copying it so I can add it.

Julia's features are awesome btw!

I used to try to control everything to be exactly mathematically perfect, but I've loosened up a bit over time (for better of worse). Now I'm more of a mind for icons that if it looks right, it is right. It's faster anyway. Maybe if icon-making was my day job I'd get more focused on consistency.

I said I wasn't going to do it, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. I've added these feature icons to the public icons doc. Will you make sure Julia finds them?
I'm also not in the robotics world really, and don't often work with these kinds of spacers and shafts so let me know if the icons don't really capture what you're using them for.

I would say the spacer and shaft icons accurately convey how the featurescripts are used, but they do seem pretty easy to confuse. Maybe the spacer could be more like a classic thin, round standoff?

Great work on the features, by the way!
