Any experience with Neil Cooke's mold design tools?
Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone on here had any experience with @NeilCooke 's mold design tools. I watched the webinar but I'm pretty confused on how to establish the parting line surface. I could use a bit of instruction on the meaning of Inner Loops, faces to include and faces to exclude. What is an inner loop? What…

How can I copy errors and warnings?
Newby to FeatureScript and using ChatGPT to help out but one thing that's driving me crazy - warnings and errors appear as "floating" text boxes meaning they only appear when I hover over the error and disapear when I move my mouse. This makes it impossible to "copy" the error and paste it into a browser. Is there a fix…

Issues with Loft or Sweep when creating an aircraft wing using airfoil profiles and guide curves.
Hello, I’m new to modeling. I was trying to create a wing using the Profile Generator tool. I created guide lines and generated the profiles; I have all the profiles, but when I try to use the Loft or Sweep tools, they simply fail to recognize the paths. I tried generating guide lines on 3-point planes, but they haven’t…

Change apperance of a bend line in flat part
I am wondering if there is a way to change the appearance of a fold/bent line in a flat metal part. In the UK, british standards use a double dashed line to denote a fold line. Onshape seems to use a centre line which is really confusing my metalwork students. I was wondering if there is either a way to change the…

Demonstration: Enhanced Debugger FeatureScript
Yes! The debugger can actually be smooth to use. And with this little trick, you can surgically Debug! Essentially this involves incorporating the → 'arrow' syntax, and a standard use of Lambdas to bypass the ever abundant "context". Some other functions for println, and colored Debug are also included.…
