PART STUDIOS THICKNESS ANALYSIS A new analysis function enables designers of molded and die cast parts to measure how much material is distributed throughout each region of a part.

What's happening in that knurl demo video? (Sept. 30, 2015)
Dear community, I'm trying to analyze and re-create what is done in that video. But as hard as I try, I come to a hard stop. I will try to describe what I see. The task is to generate a knurl pattern on a cylindrical surface. What happens in the first minute is quite clear, a 180 deg. helix is drawn and then a… -
Re: Need help troubleshooting LOFT_FAILED
Dave- I've used fitspline to create a line. I think it's create a spline and maybe should be called createspline. Node reduction is something we'll need. Took forever to get it in SW, then they created a spline you couldn't work with, a p-spline or something. I'll rag on if they generate non-user workable splines. Give me… -

How to Add Description to Micro-Version?

Workspaces and Versions both have a description field within the properties dialog box. Is there similar functionality for micro-versions? In my opinion it would be very useful to be able to add comments (comparable to description field in version properties) at any step in the design history without, creating a version.… -
New FeatureScript: Plastic Threads
Hi everyone, I've recently been messing around with FeatureScript and decided to make a thread feature for 3D-printed plastic parts.

50 Digital Joints in Featurescript
Hi Folks, I'm embarking on a project to create FeatureScript versions of Jochen Gross' 50 Digital Joints (https://www.flickr.com/photos/satiredun/15868308421/sizes/o/). My goals are create a useful set of features for folks interested in CNC furniture manufacturing and to get more proficient in FeatureScript as I go.… -
Re: Autocreation list of custom features by script.
I would say no, this isn't possible in the way you described. One unique aspect of FeatureScript that differentiates it from other CAD automation systems is that FeatureScript inputs are driven by the inputs to the model tree — FeatureScript doesn't create, or modify, or drive the feature tree. The plus side of this is…
