Draw Flange (Side View)

Generates a flange side view.

Description

This tool automatically draws the side view of a flange, including the bolt hole centerlines.

Efficient Drafting
Instead of manually drawing multiple concentric circles and calculating bolt hole positions, this command generates the entire side profile based on a few parameters.
Input
Requires the center point, outer diameter, inner diameter, pitch circle diameter (PCD) for bolt holes, bolt hole diameter, and the number of bolt holes.
Auto-Layer
Automatically creates the center layer if it doesn't exist.
