Have a "Apply and start new operation" choice in some repetative modeling tasks.

Have a "Apply and start new operation" choice in some repetative modeling tasks.

Hello all!!!!

Would it be possible to add a "Apply and start new operation" button to some of the modeling operations?

I.E.....

I use the hole operation a lot building my fixture assemblies. I usually place holding components where I want them on a fixture plate, then use their respective mounting holes to place the corresponding holes in my fixture plate.

Problem is you have to create a hole...hit okay...and then restart the hole function to place the next hole. I usually have a bunch of the same size to create. It would be very convenient to place the first hole...hit Apply, and then be prompted to place the next.

I know you can draw a sketch to place multiple's of the same hole at once but it's king of a pain since I don't know where I want them till my components are placed.

This would be a very handy function in a lot of situations.

 

As always, thanks for taking time to read my idea's

I too think some commands could use an apply button, but wanted you to know that in 99% of commands you don't have to hit "ok", just start another command and it will apply the previous one. So if you continually press the Hole command icon as if it were "apply" you will get the effect you want. Likewise, you can right click and use "repeat Hole" to achieve the same thing.
