New Feature: Poly-Mate Connectors

My drafting team have run into situations where they've needed to define multiple explicit mate connectors in one operation for ease of organization and later reference in features. Naturally after searching for an existing tool that does multiple connectors in one operation and not finding one they requested that I develop a quality of life script that does this multi mate connector operation.
Introducing: Multi-Mate Connectors wait that's taken
Introducing: Poly-Mate Connectors
It places multiple explicit mate connectors in one go, so if you need to re-reference them multiple times it's easy to hide and show them all at once by changing the visibility of the feature itself. This makes it simple to drag select the whole window to grab all the explicit mate connectors in frame to quick select locations for hole operations or things not easily defined by sketch geometry.

wow! very cool! i also did't know the the polyhedra FS!
Someone on the Onshape discord clued me on to the polyhedra script. I'm definitely gonna get some mileage out of it for laser cutting projects.
Haven't used this one but I was aware of another one:
