Sorry if this has been asked/discussed before but I haven't found complete answers yet.
I have a bunch of templates I use when creating a new design. For example, a file with a mitered box with user parameters I will use as a starting point for a credenza design. I also have files for shelf pins that I will adjust the parameters to the interior cabinet dimension, insert it into my model, then combine them to remove the shelf pin holes. Is it possible to access these files with the API, have the user input these parameters that need to be changed which will be applied to the template, and insert that updated template into my model?
For my shelf pin example I would ideally be able to click a shelf pin add-in, select cabinet edges to define the height, width, and depth, then select a corner to define the components origin for where it would be dropped in.
Any help or links to previous topics would be super helpful!
