New feature - Text to CAD... entirely within featurescript
Text to CAD is gaining a lot of hype lately, existing implementations are slow and require immense resources. So I've created an AI entirely within Onshape only using FeatureScript. Simply put in a prompt, and get a CAD model! Its a basic implementation - currently the model is only trained to build cubes, cylinders, and…

SET COLOUR, MASS, AND CUSTOM PROPERTY OF GEOMETRY CREATED BY FEATURE IN ONE GO
I have modified the standard sheet metal model feature to be more straight forward for me. If I select a particular material in my custom sheet metal feature, at the moment it sets the thickness, inner rad and kfactor to the appropriate values. Would be create if it also could set the colour, mass and assign a string to a…

How to update many feature variables at once via the API
Hi, I have built a model in PartStudio using feature variables. I want to remote control the model via an app, and have successfully managed to update variables using the PartStudio/featureId/{fid} endpoint. However, for bulk update of many variables (~15) this is too time consuming. So I tried several ways to bulk update…

Using midpoint to align entities
I cannot seem to make 'midpoint' work in any useful manner. If I select a tool, selecting the midpoint tool deselects the first tool. For example: 1. I draw a construction line perpendicular to a line segment. I want to align (move) the construction line onto the midpoint of the line segment. Nothing works.2. I want to…

Import sketch into feature without sketch being placed in part studio graphics area
I can't figure this out. I have a feature that allows the user to select a sketch from a different part studio in the same way that the frames feature allows selecting one. For some reason, when using the feature, it seems like the feature is deriving the sketch into the part studio graphics area which is not needed for…

Create a Property in an ITEM that contains a URL to a Workspace or Document
I think I have read things that indicate this is possible, but not sure how. Can I create a Custom Property that contains a URL/Link to a workspace or document inside or outside of Onshape? In the 'Types' list for custom properties I do not see URL: as an option.

Split Part using Ruled Surface?
I've been working with some laser cut tubing recently, and have had to go back and forth with suppliers about normal-to-surface tube cutting that doesn't exactly match our model. I've found guides for normalizing coped and mitered cuts on round tube, and used them to come up with a process for transforming a tube modeled…

Select edge of extrude? (resolved)
I'm suddenly having trouble doing something I swear I've done before: selecting edges (not the face) of an extrude. Make a rectangle, extrude. Now, I want to select the edges of the top, and chamfer the edges. I can't convince the UI to select individual edges, only the face. This matters, because what I really want to do…

Help Debugging Custom Sheet‑Metal Nesting Feature (Parser Errors in Mid‑File Functions)
Hi everyone, I’m working on a custom FeatureScript for automated sheet‑metal nesting. The goal is to: - flatten all selected sheet‑metal parts - auto‑rotate them based on grain direction - place them onto a virtual sheet - draw grain‑direction arrows - draw bend‑direction arrows - generate a quantity list - and eventually…
