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

@MichaelPascoe Is there a second example of showing how this feature works? When I try the script it does not make a part.0

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

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

Intersect views has been moved to this location: Intersect viewsUpdate!
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.

@RhettRobinson it's pretty niche, mainly good for reverse engineering old 2d shop drawings for small parts from vendors.
That said, i put a ton of work into polishing it up for the custom feature competition a while back. So it's the perfect example to feed any LLM.
