AltSkripts: Your Tools

In the Design workspace, AltSkripts adds an “AltSkripts” dropdown to the Create and Modify panels of the Sketch and Solid tabs.

• Sketch tab → Create ▸ AltSkripts: C-C Distance, Bolt Pattern
• Solid tab → Create ▸ AltSkripts: Tube Extruder, Tubify, Belt Generator, Shaft Endings
• Solid tab → Modify ▸ AltSkripts: Part Lighten, Fillet All Edges
• Open a panel, click the AltSkripts dropdown, pick a tool

Sketch ▸ Create ▸ AltSkripts ▸ C-C Distance

• Finds exact center-to-center spacing for 20DP gears, HTD 5mm & GT2 3mm belts, #25/#35 chain
• Draws pitch-diameter + OD circles and a label documenting the math
• Fully editable — delete any part and it all deletes
• Use it in: Gears, Belts, Chain

Sketch ▸ Create ▸ AltSkripts ▸ Bolt Pattern

• Drops the bolt circle for common FRC motors about a center point
• Edit later to change diameter or suppress holes
• Use it in: Motor Mounting, Gussets

Solid ▸ Create ▸ AltSkripts ▸ FRC Tube Extruder

• Turns a profile into a walled 2x1 tube with the bolt/lightening hole pattern in one step
• Set wall thickness, length, hole pattern, and end trims
• Use it in: Your First Tube, all the Frames

Solid ▸ Create ▸ AltSkripts ▸ Tubify Solid

• Converts a solid 1x1 or 1x2 block into a shelled, hole-punched FRC tube
• Use when you modeled a solid shape first
• Use it in: Frames

Solid ▸ Create ▸ AltSkripts ▸ Extrude Individual

• Extrudes multiple sketch regions as separate parts in one feature — even when the regions touch
• Pair it with Tubify to punch real aluminum tubes straight from a top-view sketch
• Use it in: Sketch Basics, the Frames

Solid ▸ Create ▸ AltSkripts ▸ Belt Generator

• Builds a belt solid wrapping two pulleys — pick the two centers and the plane
• Auto-names it like 'Belt 5mm-90Tx9mm' from the loop length
• Use it in: Belts & Pulleys

Solid ▸ Create ▸ AltSkripts ▸ Shaft Endings

• Adds e-clip / snap-ring grooves and center holes to 1/2", 3/8", 1/4" shafts
• Use it in: Shafts & Bearings

Solid ▸ Modify ▸ AltSkripts ▸ Part Lighten

• Pockets a plate to cut weight: sketch 'spider-web' keep-lines, it offsets and cut-extrudes
• Set wall, rib thickness, depth, and fillet
• Use it in: Plates, Bellypan Pocketing

Solid ▸ Modify ▸ AltSkripts ▸ Fillet All Edges

• Fillets every edge of a body at one radius in a single click
• Use it in: finishing plates and gussets
