Re: Is it intentional that LinearPattern's "occurences" parameter includes the original features but the "length" doesn'

The pattern is an array that does not really have a start or endpoint, the length is the length of a translation vector. And what would be the start point of (for example) a cylindrical feature? In an older version of the page the text is: Define the Length (distance) between the last copied occurre...

Re: weird update behaviour of PartLink Placement List

Without your file it is very unlikely that anyone will look into this. Maybe also consider using Draft arrays (Draft_OrthoArray)...

Re: Rotation about LCS and Dataplanes

With some more planning this exercise can become a lot easier. Notice how both sketches are constrained relative to their axes in the attached file.

It seem clear that gNucleus does not generate CAD models at all. It provides a language interface to change the parametrics of existing CAD models (created by humans).

Re: Setting treeview mode in dev

Changing to that setting should make the Property view detachable from the Tree view. But you may have to detach manually. In fact, AFAICT, you don't have to restart.

I don't think it is correct to say "length of the original feature" as that is not how the length is measured, it is rather the distance from the first to the last occurrence. In real life this is rather common of course: If you have to evenly space 10 objects you have to divide the total ...
