User Interface Guidelines?
It would be great if Onshape would publish a set of User Interface Guidelines like other mature platforms. I find myself often thinking I should try to emulate first party features with things that I'm developing, but then I wonder how much of some of them are legacy results of adding functionality and not wanting to break…
toString in Description?
I'm trying to give a tooltip for a UI parameter using the description and I'd like it to show the range. I know if I enter a value outside of the boundsRange it will show the range automatically, but it would be nice to have some hint of what that range is without guessing. It seems like creating a const or inlining the…
Is Dynamic Text Possible in a Collapsed Group Header?
Title pretty much says it all. I want non-editable text that can be updated in a group header that can be collapsed. For example: ⌄ Boss OD 2.0 x d = 5.0mm Ratio 2.0 Diameter 5.0 mm > Boss ID 0.8 x d = 2.0mm > Pilot ID 1.0 x d = 2.5mm
Documentation for Annotation Parameters (Keys/Values)?
I'm looking for documentation on all the possible keys in the "Annotation" maps for featurescript UIs. I can't find it in the standard library documentation or through google searches, but I assume it exists somewhere. Can someone provide a link?
How to change the "Top View" Hotkey?
Hey folks, How do I change the hotkey for Top View? I can't find it in the hot-key change menu in Profile > Settings > Keyboard shortcuts. Is there some other menu for hotkeys that I don't know about? I've searched the forums and google, but can't find anything other than "you can change shortcuts!" from here:…
Coordinate/Vector input parameter
Hi! Novice featurescripter here, what's the best way to have a UI that lets you input points in comma-separated coordinate form (for now cartesian is enough)? A [bad] approach I think might work is asking for a string input, then parsing that string and converting to a vector, but that makes typechecking much harder.…
Trying to figure out how to create a "dynamic" drop down list in Featurescript UI
I'm trying to create a feature that will generate 2 variables (to be used for sheet metal): a thickness and a bend radius. I've setup a lookup table for material and gauges that also defines the available radius for the gauge (so far so good). I can pick the desired gauge in the UI and retrieve the thickness (and store in…
