Trouble with default values in feature script
Hi all, I am close to releasing a feature script to the community, but I am struggling with getting the feature to use the default sizes that I pre-populated. For some reason the sizes keep going to 25mm and the qty keeps going to 2. When the qty doesn't default to 1 it also messes up my attempt to hide a sub-menu about…

Why does this assembly fail when I add one more revolute mate?
This is a robot arm design I created based on a reference design I found online.
