I'm looking for advice on workflow. I'm creating a 3D "typeset font" with a pair of components for each character: a backing plate and a face. So far I've been working in a single file. I use a common set of user parameters and sketches to control offsets, extrudes, sweeps and revolves in the child components.
I've attached a simplified example. I included it in an empty design, then re-built the character from the included profiles. It mostly works, but to import user parameters I've got to start experimenting with the add-in GoogleSheeter (since I'm on a mac).
Bottom line, is this a reasonable way to go? Do you have a different suggestion for the user parameters?
I'll admit that my first pass didn't follow Rule #1 for the sketches. All of the sketches were overlaid and it was impossible to select the profile I wanted. So each sketch must be in a separate component so that I can turn them on and off.
