Macro PDWrapper

Description
PDWrapper encapsulates solids created in other workbenches inside a PartDesign::FeaturePython object so that they behave as if they were native Part Design features. In the screenshot below it shows a Part Workbench fillet of a Part Design Additive Box encapsulated inside a PDWrapper object of type Common Additive. But PDWrapper can do more than just encapsulate non-Part Design solids for use in a Part Design Body. It can also encapsulate Part Design features and change their nature. For example, you can encapsulate a Part Design Hole inside a PDWrapper Additive type and turn the Hole into a threaded rod (presuming the Hole is threaded). With PDWrapper you can create types of Primitives that are not available, such as Common (Intersection) types and XOR types. It also allows to dynamically include/exclude some solid features from the Body's Tip shape.

Examples and full documentation can be found on github: PDWrapper.
