Feature Request: Up to faceS

Post by jruiz »

Hi.
When padding or pocketing a sketch, I think that it could be very useful to have the option of selecting two faces for giving two dimensions for the pad or pocket.
Regards.

There is an option of "Two Diemnsions", but the values have to be given numerically of using the expression engine...

I know, it was for generalization.

Just use the sketch twice. Up to, in one Pad/Pocket and up to, another in a second Pad/Pocket.

Yes, there are several workarounds for achieving this effect.
I am wondering if existing codes (Those of "Two dimension" and "Up to face") could be reused. Wouldn't it ease the implementation of this feature ?
