Script to insert clearance planes in auto features

Anyone else ever get tired of having to/ forgetting to re-insert clearance planes in between hits within OD auto circles after a fine tune or edit ? Seems to get me in trouble I’m just wondering if there is a way to run a script that would automatically search through a PP and insert clearance planes in between hits of all OD type auto circles?

  • First, there is a button in auto circle to make Circular Paths between hits so it arcs around the OD, staying the prehit distance away. It's in the middle, hover over the buttons until you find it.

    If you are programming an OD with wacky protrusions sticking out of it, so it seriously needs clearance plane navigation between every hit, don't use auto-circles - use auto points and construct the circles. This actually makes it far easier to tweak hit location also.

    Save the scripting for hard stuff.
