More progress on my 'Flatpack' Workbench idea. The LCS points are already places as part of the workflow, this Macro takes those points and creates Pockets or Pads based on the position of the Point, inside or outside the Bounding Box. git.oit.cloud/morgan/Flatpack_

ok.... I have this dream workbench to simplify one of my most common workflows, flat pack plywood construction. The issue is designing fingers/tab at the sketch level is a pain, especially when making major changes like changing stock thickness and variable stock thickness (narrow finger, thick stock). My goal is to use LCS points to set locations and have the WB generate tabs and finger. Brain dump here. git.oit.cloud/morgan/Plywood_W

Revisiting a project as my 'I'm unemployed and will work on what I wish!' project. I'm really enjoying my approach on this project. Each piece of the are created in the PartDesign WB, top down as if cut from plywood (cause they will be) and put together using Assembly 4. This allows a ton a flexibility because my part histories stay very shallow. DatumPlanes, offset with the same Spreadsheet values used for Pads, are used to not need to worry about Face names changing.
