Automatic creation of surfaces from solid on separate level

[cncgotoguy]

I'm looking for an automated way to do the following:

initial conditions; Mastercam open with parasolid imported

 

1. create new level

2. Create faces from solid on this new level

3. hide solid from its level

 

I make fully dimensioned drawings in Solidworks and to ensure each model feature from the part is dimensioned, I use Mastercam to change the color of each surface as I dimension it. It has worked very well, but I would like to automate the creation of the faces.

This can be done with a C-Hook type add-in.

What version of Mastercam?

The add-in would . . .
1. Ask the user for the level number to place the surfaces on.
2. All solids (or should this just all visible solids?) would be processed.
3. All solids that had surfaces made would then be "hidden".
