Parameter Based Selection: How To Do It, or Should We Add a Feature?
Hi, Does anyone have any tips about how to multiselect lots of features based on parameters? I often need to set a Path Job Op Base to many features having something in common. For example the screenshot below shows ~30 base faces for a Pocket Op at the same height. I found it can be done with a com...

Re: Parametric 2D Merge
It looks like the fusion retains the individual overlapping faces (doesn't create just the outline). But this still worked for me to Part Design Pocket. Thanks!

Parametric 2D Merge
Hi, Is there a way to take multilpe coplanar faces and combine them to a single face (parametrically)? I'm hoping for something like a Part Union where the resulting shape is something like an outline that contains all space that any of the base objects contained. This would be helpful for working w...

Re: Efficient Way to "Lay Flat" Pieces for Path
That looks very promising, thank you for pointing it out. I've often seen those buttons but didn't understand what they did.
The "modelSetAxis" function can probably be used to instantly flatten all of the models. I'll try it out.

Efficient Way to "Lay Flat" Pieces for Path
Part of my Path workflow is to take all the models and lay them flat within my Path stock and then arrange/nest them. Manually rotating pieces that are modeled vertically is repetitive and time-consuming if there are a lot of them. For example in the screenshot below, 8 pieces need to be rotated to ...

Re: Using Relative Object Parameters
That's good info. My current use case maybe doesn't need the full capability of an enumeration to select a configuration (since every instance will be different there'd be as many configurations as objects). However learning about that "CopyOnChange" option looks very useful for creating m...

Using Relative Object Parameters
Hi, Is there a way for expressions to reference parameters of relative objects, rather than naming absolutely the object to read the parameter's value from? Given a "template" Part containing Bodies containing Sketches, and that template is then copied or linked to create many instances of...
