Custom Feature Like Hole Tool

Okay

 

I finally got a basic version of a new custom feature working. It makes pockets for heated threaded inserts, useful for designing 3d printed stuff. I based it on the custom pocket example.

 

Now I want to expand it a bit..  Right now it can only make one insert.  I'd like to make it like the hold tool so I can select multiple points.  I''m stuck because I don't know how to represent the dependency on more than one point.  Is this a question of having it produce multiple features with one sketchPoint dependency per feature. The custom parameters of each of these features would be identical.

 

If that makes sense, how would I start?  If not how else can this be done?

Hi,

 

I believe you can have only one feature with multiples points (and the corresponding operation on its location).

It is like the Extrude Feature you find in Fusion: you can select multiples profiles and generate multiple bodies, all in the same feature (only only feature in the timeline).

You can let the user select multiple points from a SelectionCommandInput.
