  • Reference Guide or Documentation for FeatureScript Docs Comments?

  • How do you document Product Labels

    Does anyone have a good example of how you document product labels? Most labels have a number of layers, i.e. a Liner, adhesive, printable layer, adhesive, clear top protective layer.

  • Embedding interactive model into webpage

    I have just transitioned from Fusion 360 to onShape and loving every moment of it.

  • Documentation page in a project

    I've noticed a few projects (documents) that have a documentation page as an introduction and to give some hints and tips on how to use the rest of the project in your own project. For example see Neil Cooke's Spur Gear (link to my copy is…

  • Contributing to standard library documentation

    I'm finally have a few spare moments to start experimenting with featurescript. I'm in that brief stage of everything is new, and I am having lots of questions pop up, which once I get up to speed will be obvious and forgotten details. An example is, 'How do I set the origin of a sketch?', which, after digging through the…
