Draw (New Custom Feature)

https://cad.onshape.com/documents/bad94104a5ecdd5d422a7b40/w/ce1f9d49a79762d0e2431752/e/4fea5d9770def4e66ed79f03

Happy feature Friday!

With this custom feature, you can create a spline (or polyline) and sweep by dragging the manipulator triad.

If you like this feature, check out Freeform Spline by @Evan_Reese.

Thanks @ilya_baran for the manipulator advice.  B)

    That is smart! A lot of cool things are possible with caching into isAnything() hidden field.

    This is pretty out of the box! love it. It's like a poor man's Gravity Sketch.

    It would be cool to be able to edit the curve by clicking points. Since this tool makes some clumps of points (esp if you move slow) it might be hard to make that practical, so It would be even cooler if you could do a "soft edit" where moving a selected point also moves neighboring points within a certain radius and proportional to their distance from the active point. Rhino has a similar tool and it looks like this. It's probably not the most efficient code, but feel free to use some of the manipulator code from Freeform Spline if it helps.
