Awesome FeatureScripts for Onshape

FeatureScript is a way to extend Onshape with really cool custom features. Sadly, Onshape does not provide a 'Featurescript Store' that lists all of the really good ones. Its official list of FeatureScripts is not comprehensive or categorized. Onshape, however, does have another FeatureScript page with tutorials and documentation. You can also view the Onshape Standard Library Source.

Road Map

This list is and will always be community edited. Future plans include adding authors, pictures, and a rating/voting system.
