Pipe Flanges FeatureScript

in FeatureScript
Some months ago I created a Featurescript to create PN10 Plate flanges, and it works well and I'm happy with it.  I would like to extend the script to create other types of flanges, my specific need at the moment is for  weld neck flanges #300.  I would eventually like the script to be close to universal, with options for various flange forms and pressure ratings.

Although I successfully coded the PN10 plate flange script I am finding coding in FeatureScript very challenging, the error messages are cryptic (even more than normal) and the language reference is obscure (even more than normal).  Would anyone care to collaborate with me on this, I am willing to put the basic data tables in a format that FeatureScript and help with the basic architecture of the script, so I looking for someone to work with who can do the coding without getting too frustrated.

The PN10 plate flange script can be seen here https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6bb2eebbab56b72efe65a70c/w/53d673170fe0b934ba72ac04/e/b95aa5925a5b3bc25c53bc4f

    If my understanding is correct, we can't invoke a custom feature when working in the assembly tab. Are you planning to make one pipe spool per part studio and then connect all the spools in the assembly to complete the piping system. One way to do piping design with Onshape is to have the pipe route as a wireframe in a sketch and add all the piping components in the assembly by calling out the configuration of the desired standard piping component. Treat each spool as a child assembly including only shop fabricated items. Then there will be a parent assembly where everything is bolted or field welded. Also, creating a configurable part allow better quality control, meaning is easier to verify if the dimensions are per the governing standard.

    @Edgar_Perez This post was from over 5 years ago. The ship has probably sailed  :)
