cad-plus VS solidworks-parts

Hi, I have released Beta 3 version of the CAD+ Toolset for SOLIDWORKS which has many features to automate SOLIDWORKS (including free features in the Community edition). One of the most popular features is Properties+ (Standard edition) which allows batch adding, removing, changing custom properties of files, configurations, and cut-list items from SOLIDWORKS or from Windows File Explorer (you do not even need to have SOLIDWORKS installed to use this feature). Here is a detailed demonstration: A simple way to manage SOLIDWORKS custom properties. This is one of the use cases: Propagate and reconcile SOLIDWORKS custom properties from the template. If you want to give it a try you can download the Beta 3 version by clicking the Try Future Version from the web-site. You can then request a free trial license.

Here is the link to the actual QR code project: https://github.com/xarial/cad-plus/tree/dev/src/Drawing, but you will need to pull the full solution. All the references are Nuget packages, so just restore - and you should be good to compile and run. Run SwAddIn project and you will see the menu in SOLIDWORKS. Let me know if any issues.

Once my layout is completed i'll export the board as a 3D Step file and import it into FreeCAD along with whatever box i'm going to use for this project (you can find models for your standard 1590* boxes on Hammond's website). I'll then position everything correctly including any washer i'd use in the final product. From there i know where the drilling holes sit perfectly and i can export a drawing i will use as a drilling template for exemple, or (even better) make a 3D printed drilling template to be even more precise (example).

Here's one i did some time ago, front & side for 125B boxes. I have used it numerous times it's a huge time saver.
