As with the other three TD macros I wrote, yes. Just create an icon for the macro and you are done ;) (for the others I also created icons in the repo)
I could also create a PR pushing those directly into the master, however I think that it is better to keep such experimental stuff off the master.

Excellent, thank you :D
I would call it the pragmatic way to solve things.
In my opinion, put it into the main branch if possible. Every dimensioning option helps to handle sheet metal designs.

wait until we have the "draw what you want feature". I think if this feature is in TD, there are nearly unlimited possibilities with macros 8-)

+1
It will be tested, if it is in master. 0.19 is not stable yet, so it can be fixed in case it is broken. If it is broken, we can ask users not to use it. If it's a macro it will do nothing if it is not called.

Hello reox
first dimensioning works like expected, the second series of points, are looking a bit confusing.

probably nothing. I guess that somewhere the calculation is wrong...
would it be possible to share the file or replicate the problem in a different one?
