skArc/Constraint syntax and radius calculation error
Hi! So I'm trying to create a custom feature and i've found a problem where i try to create an arc using 'skArc' and later define it using 'skConstraint' with '"constraintType" : ConstraintType.RADIUS' but while the original points defined in "start" and "end" are correct in the part studio the "mid" point and therefore…

toString in Description?
I'm trying to give a tooltip for a UI parameter using the description and I'd like it to show the range. I know if I enter a value outside of the boundsRange it will show the range automatically, but it would be nice to have some hint of what that range is without guessing. It seems like creating a const or inlining the…

Configurations Question
I'm designing a box that will hold a small electronics project, basically just an arduino nano type board and a battery, plus some surface features: a hole for a switch, a hole for USB, mounting pegs for the board, etc. I designed two different versions of this for two different boards. One uses USB C, the other mini USB,…

How do I set printer margin when printing a drawing?
I recently got portable thermal printer. but it doesn't seem to support margine-less printing. It always prints it smaller and I need to print documents in 1:1 scale. There is printer shop near my house, so I compared output from there and found out that my printer always puts about 4mm of margin. The white space around…

I am attempting to do an assembly...
1] I am attempting to do an assembly (for the dozenth time), but I have changed the imported part to Boolean all the parts and gave it a new version. After importing it into the Assembly the part imports with some of the changes, but not as the Boolean part. I have done this again with yet another version and yet doing the…

Custom Feature: One Face Loft
Hi all, I worked up a feature script using AI and grit (lol) to apply lofts to faces using a single face. It allows you to loft to a single point, a radius, a custom face, or even a flattened version of the same face. Not sure how useful it is to most, but I often make 3d print items where I'd like to loft surfaces for 3d…

Can't figure out CANNOT_RESOLVE_ENTITIES from opBoolean
I've been going through the FeatureScript Fundamentals course in the learning system, and I'm on the final exercise. I'm getting a CANNOT_RESOLVE_ENTITIES from a opBoolean call, and I can't figure out what going wrong. I've more than triple checked my code against what's provided in the instructions, and I've added debug…

Issue Assigning Value to Company Custom Property
I attempted to create a feature script, and when trying to use it, am getting regeneration errors. Our company uses mechanical cables. For these mechanical cable parts, I want a 'Cut Length' property. These parts are modelled using sweeps, and I want the cut length value to be linked to the sketch entities used as the…

What is the best organization of my project? A single Part Studios and multiple Assembly tabs?
I’m still very new to 3d modeling and ONSHAPE, but I’m learning quickly. Right now I have two completely separate projects to build two different versions of a V8 engine intake manifold, but I want to re-organize this to have only one set of documents but two different outcomes. After a lot of thought, I think the right…

is there a way to know in FS if the tolerant dimension is active?
I've started implementing the UIHint_CAN_BE_TOLERANT in my relevant custom features. one of them is the makeRadius FS wich can set a cylinder or conical surface at a certain radius. if it is a conical surface, my edit logic will add a required query for an edge to measure and set the radius at. I believe only cylindrical…

Suggestions on a better way
New to onshape and struggling with getting some ribs on the surface of this part. I expect there are much better ways to create the shape and / or to add the surface wrap of complex curved faces. I am open to hearing all of your advice for making something like this a better simpler model. Really hope I got the link right…

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…
