featurescript Measure Distance

@evDistance, what @ means ?
Hello When I look at the evDistance function définition in evaluate.fs, there is a callback to @evDistance... What does that means? Is the source code available ? export function evDistance(context is Context, arg is map) returns DistanceResult { var result = @evDistance(context, arg); ...
Measuring Flat Patterns?
I'm trying to figure out a way to model a flex circuit in its bent form and by controlling a dimension, end up with the flat pattern having the correct length. I can get something by trial and error which is close enough (a path length measurement in sketcher sure would help here). One frustration is that the custom…
Measurement Tool Feature
I want a way for data to go from OnShape to python in a clearly defined interface. Say I have a sketch with many complex constraints, and some of the lengths are driven by configurations. In the simplest case, say I have a right triangle with the two legs driven by config values. Now I want the length of the hypotenuse in…
Measure Distance Custom feature, how to see the result?
Hi guys. I think I'm being daft... Just been playing with the new featurescript "Measure Distance" tool. This does what it says and then puts the result in a variable. All good so far, but how do I see the current value of the variable? I know the value is being loaded into the variable as I can use the variable to define…
