My goal is to design a part, say rectangle for ease of explanations, i want it to be, x,y,z 20, 30, 10-12mm. How can i design one rectangle then have onshape produce say 10 more rectangles ranging from 10 to 12 mm. Would make 3d printing test parts much easier and faster.
Thanks for all your help guys
