How to get derived part to update?
I made a part in Document A and then inserted it via Derived into Document B. I've made changes to the part in Document A and I expected it to update in Document B. I try to re-derive the part and I still see the old measurements on the part even when redoing it. What am I doing wrong?
Copy properties from part being referenced by feature and assign to part being created
I have a custom sheet metal feature. It allows for selecting an imported part and selecting one face of the part. It then converts the whole thing into a new sheet metal part and deletes the imported part. I use this feature usually on derived sheet metal parts. Usually I have one master part studio and it contains too…
Custom FS- Issue deriving configured part
Hello, I'm trying to derive a configured part studio with 2 configured parts in it. Custom Derive Feature> Closet Box> "Single Stack"> 1 configured part "Double Stack"> 2 configured parts The feature fails with the "Double stack" configuration. What am I doing wrong? Thank you…
New FeatureScript - Point Derive
Hello all, I'm happy to release my latest FeatureScript, Point Derive. Point derive allows users to quickly derive parts into new positions in a part studio in a manner similar to @ilya_baran's Super Derive feature, but also adds powerful Point functionality. When a part is selected to be derived, any mate connectors which…
Seperate derived parts
Is it possible to separate a part based on a derivation from the connected part
Select a sketch from another studio?
I'm trying to select a sketch from another studio. I can get close, but I'm missing a few steps. What is a good way to do this? https://cad.onshape.com/documents/76442daf92ce43df74883ec6/w/2f4ea4d52c5fb26051e11c55/e/cdac35e0ee54c70d46280df1 Also, if there is a way to select a mate connector from another studio, that would…
Instantiate and Query Preservation?
I am attempting to store queries(of edges) in a FeatureScript attribute of parts, and then derive those parts into another context. It seems to not preserve the query when using the instantiate function and I'm guessing that's because opMergeContexts() doesn't go into FeatureScript attributes. Is there a way I can go and…
Derived Parts (Sketch in particular)
It would be a a massive improvement in parametric functionality if Derived Parts (Sketch in particular) could be inserted into an open Sketch of a Master Part Studio. This provides flexibility to use Derived Sketches in skewed planes and also multiple Derivations from the one sketch (eg Beam X-Section).
