Coating thickness

Another super-smart macro I'm pleased to shared.

This macro automatizes a repetitive process that is to count with the thickness of a coating/platting adds to a part. It's assumed that the original dimensions includes the coating.

You'll need a part with 1 only body on it. After asking the thickness of the coating in mm, it would created a derived-configuration with 2 bodies:

  • 1 the coating body
  • 1 the body without the coating. This is the body to send to manufacturing, before coating.

The original configuration would keep the original body.

Enjoy it.
