I'm about done with this macro. I will do a couple dialog changes, I want to optimize a few of the check boxes but that's it.

One thing I found is using OpenSCAD mouse-mode gives me 3D rotation ability in Sketcher so that's really cool. It's kind of tricky to use but the developers did a great job squeezing in both screen rotation and sketching with no mode change. :)

I will say my experiment is a success, I would guess that using this concept macro could save a couple hours a days while designing. I'm not knocking what is there, sometimes I use the standard tools but having used the macro with one-click feature creation, I like it.

With the one click new Document, one-click Body, one click Sketch and Feature and OpenSCAD, I am addicted to this tool and there's no going back.
Thanks

Thanks. I have more work to do on the macro. It works well on building Bodies stand alone, but I need to add some code to make it work with Bodies that are in Part containers and are turned off axis.
