get featureList of parent feature from a query?

Evan_ReeseEvan_Reese Member Posts: 2,060 PRO
How can I take a query of a sketch edge, and get the featureList of the parent sketch? I know how to get the sketch Id, but I'm not sure where to go from there.

    Are you just trying to copy the sketch?
    this does it and keeps it as a sketch
     probably add construction filters if you want.
     FeatureScript 1977;
    import(path : "onshape/std/common.fs", version : "1977.0");
    
    annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "pattern Sketch" }
    export const patternSketch = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
        precondition
        {
            annotation { "Name" : "sk Ent", "Filter" : EntityType.EDGE||EntityType.FACE, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
            definition.skEnt is Query;     
            
        }
        {       
            var owner = lastModifyingOperationId(context, definition.skEnt)  as Id;
            owner = owner[0];
            owner = makeId(owner);
            
            opPattern(context, id+"Copy", {
                    "entities" : qCreatedBy(owner, EntityType.BODY),
                    "transforms" : [identityTransform()],
                    "instanceNames" : ["copySketchEnts"]
            });        
        });

    @_anton is close, but to get the sketch features id you need take the first element in the id. So ownerSketchId[0] should do it.

    Thanks. I've gotten that far, but I'm wanting it formatted in whatever form applyPattern() ingests. I thought I might need to use featureList(), but I'm not sure.

    Something like this:
    applyPattern(context, id + "copySketch", {
                        "instanceFunction" : sketchId,
                        "patternType" : PatternType.FEATURE,
                        "transforms" : [identityTransform()],
    		    "instanceNames" : ["copy"],
                        "fullFeaturePattern" : false
                    }, identityTransform());

    @Jacob_Corder
    Thanks for seeing through my wrong question and giving me the answer to the one I should have asked. That does accomplish what I'm after. I had done something similar, but I guess different enough to mess up other feature's ability to find the sketch plane direction. This should unblock me on what I'm working on!

    @_anton is to receive credit, I didn't even think of using lastModificationFeatureId to extract it. I was surprised that opPattern actually copied the sketch as it is. I just tested it to see what would happen and boom a sketch.
