New Custom Feature - HoleTag

I posted about this as a response some time ago, but just reworked it.

HoleTag slightly modifies hole diameters (in increments of 0.00016mm) so that you can choose whole bodies when using Replicate and parts will only mate to holes that have been tagged appropriately.

By importing an editable variable studio to the document, users on a team can standardize tag numbers across part studios, allowing them to replicate fasteners on many parts at the same time.

If there's a better way to do any of this, please please let me know. I am running up against the boundaries of what FS can/can't do. My dream would be to have a CSV drive Enums without editing the feature directly. But this is impossible I believe. And so I have resorted to encoding both the increment number and tag name within an Anything variable. A map variable could work too, but this is functional at the moment.
