Feature Request: Macro to Filter and Modify Similar Shaped Faces (Holes, Ellipses, Polygons...)

[Ngobien91]

Dear Development Team,

I would like to request a new macro feature that would be extremely helpful in SolidWorks modeling workflows.

Feature Request: A macro that can automatically filter and identify faces or features with similar geometry—specifically circular holes, elliptical holes, or polygonal cutouts—on a part body. The macro should group these similar shapes based on dimensions (e.g., diameter for circles) and allow users to:

1. Modify the size/dimensions of all selected similar faces/features simultaneously.
2. Translate/move these faces or features along a direction (similar to the "Move Face" command in SolidWorks) for alignment or adjustment.

Example Use Cases:

• Adjusting the diameter of all M5 holes to M6.
• Moving all ventilation holes on a panel by 5mm.
• Identifying and editing all elliptical cutouts with the same shape.

This tool would greatly streamline repetitive editing tasks and help ensure consistency in mechanical design—especially in sheet metal and enclosure design workflows.

Thank you for your consideration. I would be happy to contribute to testing or providing example models.

Best regards,
BIEN NV
