Hi all,
I'd like to socialise some thoughts with the group.
In the Manufacturing workspace I layout nested parts manually using the Arrange workflow. These are parts that are machined/routed from plywood. For the Setup the stock is the 2400x1220 sheet of plywood.
On the top surface of the stock and parts I create a sketch. This sketch has holes I drill for holding down the sheet and also dowel locating holes through the stock into the spoilboard so I can flip the sheet into the right position to machine the reverse side - plus it contains text that I engrave to label the stock sheet and the individual parts.
From time to time I have to revisit the positioning of parts, even from sheet to sheet which means I have to review the positions of the label text.
What would be ideal is for a script that operates within a boundary, projects the upper face of the parts into a sketch, finds the "centre" and creates a text object populated with the body name from the object properties. Even if it were a manual click on an object one by one.
Anyone tackled something like this before?
David
