Today I added a very quick feature that is saving me a lot of time working on the chassis. Each tube has splines as children that the CNC tube notcher will use to generate GCode for cutting the production parts.

Because the chassis is composed of so many parts copy and paste then moving the splines into the tube objects takes a lot of time. Not you can copy an object, then select the object you want the copy to be placed within as a child and press paste and it is added as a child. No more scrolling through the object list to find the object.

As additional reference, ADS has two object lists on the right hand side. The upper list contains the scene objects with nested children. The middle list will show objects when you click on them in the view window and there are too many to identify you can use the list to choose by name. Additionally you can use the find object by name feature and the results list will show in this middle window. You can select objects in this list and take action on them.

I’m currently working on improvements to the perforation tool to allow several new features coming soon.
