New Part Spacing Featurescript
Hey all,
I've made a custom FS that separates parts an exact distance from each-other relative to a selected plane.
took me a while so happy to share my little passion project milestone. This is particularly useful for separating parts ready to be nested / nesting:
The parts space in the order they are selected, in other words for every part you select all previously selected parts move together:
Note that in the second image part 6 and 5 (Long part and left large part) are selected first and so move left together once the right part is selected.
The script is indeed very process heavy (laggy) as there is no way to perform the necessary processing without also creating and deleting entities as reference using featurescript. However it is quiet powerful:
I like this example as it would be very time consuming for me to space these parts using sketches as references but using this script it takes just a few seconds. Parts don't have to be flat either all that matters is you select the plane you want things to be spaced on:
Merry Christmas everyone. Let me know if this helps anyone, if there's any bugs or if you want an explanation on how it works as it's a little complex.
Here's the Featurescript Link !!!
You can ignore all the other tabs in my doc. I'm working on a pretty big project.

Re: why is this hole going the wrong way?
I mentioned this in your other thread. it depends on the sketch in which you are referencing.

Re: why is this hole going the wrong way?
If you use a sketch point, the hole will always be normal to the sketch plane...
You can select a mate connector on that line in the sketch instead and the hole will be a long the mate connector Z axis
Re: How do I create a quarter-round edge cutout (cove), rather than a quarter-round edge (fillet)?
Same technique for something like an ogee bit or a raised panel bit. The “round over” bit is the only one usually built into a cad system.

Any suggestions please.
Re: Is it possible to set a minimum & maximum value for a sketch dimension ?
To be fair, that's exactly what those functions do in every other programming language in existence. max returns the maximum value among its arguments, and min returns the minimum value.

const sketchRegions is Query = makeRobustQuery(context, qSketchRegion(sketchId, true));
opTransform(...);
opExtrude(... { "entities" : sketchRegions, ... });
