The other day, I was tracing door lock sets over and over again. I wrote this to save some time.

What dark magic is this?

Very cool

Thanks John & Tony!

This is definitely one of my favorites so far.

Hope this translator works

@MichaelPascoe Is there a second example of showing how this feature works? When I try the script it does not make a part.

@bryan_lagrange
I have added a "Show behind the scenes" configuration checkbox for the example tab. This should help explain how it works.

Thank you

Feature Tip!

Here is a new trick I learned today. If your part is identical from the front view and the side view, you can use one sketch for both views

That's awesome

Intersect views has been moved to this location: Intersect views

Update!

This feature has been completely re-written for the Onshape live 2022 contest. Hope you enjoy the update!

• Sketch views can now be pre-selected and the feature will attempt to auto sort where each face goes.
• Intersect dashed lines visually show where the part is being intersected. 
• Sub features now let you create additional extrudes with depths based on your sketch views.
