Coincident constraint leaves gap between splines
Im trying to make a face closing the path between the inner ear spline and the body spline, but the point will not lock onto the line whether I constrain it or not. Dont mind the copied part studio, that was just a testbed that got me nowhere.

Sketch "Use" in featurescript
I cannot find the function to "Use (Project/Convert)" an existing face (which the feature user would define), onto a sketch that I create in my featurescript. Is it not implemented, or am I just failing at finding it?

[ANSWERED] Create lobed knob / Sweep along "wavy circle"
Document with all the tries in separate part studios: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7d92ebfc4d42d67498b44c02/w/c3e079a016e5604e415d2895/e/8d83e605f9727daac7ef5c4f?renderMode=0&uiState=671eb1542b083d3d38a744a6 Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. It is kind of tricky to put into words what I want to create, so…

Imported DXF not producing faces
Hi, im trying to import DXF drawings from Inkscape. I have the one Inkscape file that I copy parts to be exported to DXF and export them separately. One is imported just well enough to produce faces to extrude, while the other is failing to do that. Moreover, when importing failing drawing, any modifications done in the…

With this custom feature, you can create a spline (or polyline) and sweep by dragging the manipulator triad. If you like this feature, check out Freeform Spline by…

FeatureScript request: Corner fillet for CNC machining
When machining a part with a CNC mill, sharp corners cannot be milled (due to the diameter of the drill, this actually also holds for lasercutting). The trick is to create a "deeper" radius with the same size of the drill (slightly larger), see below. But it's a drag to draw these over and over.. Is there perhaps an…

New Sketch Function: Hershey Text
Link to Hershey Text I have seen a few improvement requests related to adding single line fonts for CNC engraving. After some research I found these 31 single line or "Hershey Fonts" available online here, and an explanation on how to decode them. I converted the data into a CSV for FeatureScript to interpret and tried to…

How to retrieve all the feature ids used to generate a part in a part studio
Hello, Is there any way to know what features and sketches (by ids or names) are used to generate a part, given the part Id using featurescript? For example, in the image, When I click on part 1, Extrude 1 is automatically highlighted, which means it's saved somewhere. Thank You.

How do I sketch on face of sheet metal model?
When I create a sketch on sheet metal, I try to select the face of the part as the sketch plane, but a face of a previous feature, usually a hole, gets selected. This is annoying because I lose subsequent sketch planes when I edit features. I end up having to sketch on one of the coordinate system planes to make my…

Is there still no way to group curves in a sketch?
We have many situations where we are trying to work out the geometry of the moving parts of a robot. This needs to be done in 2D, with rough approximations of parts and other elements. In Sketchup, I can group curves together so they can be transformed as a single object. Is there still no way to do anything like this in…

How to have a Sketch as a parameter
I’m not sure I’m getting the terminology correctly, but when I’m saying parameter I’m referring to the light-blue input boxes that are in the feature-menu that pops up when creating a new feature. Say, in a Part Studio, I creat a new Extrude feature. I can either manually select entities to extrude (with my cursor), or I…

What is the best way to extract or make a sketch of this profile?
I tried to use Use but got the "Some of the face edges could not be used in the sketch." message. Here is the model sectioned showing the profile I would like to capture.…
