Lattice2 Workbench

Introduction
'''This version is in devlopment. Breaking changes can be introduced at any point. If you want to make a project with use of Lattice workbench, it is recommended to stick with Lattice v1.'''

Lattice Workbench is a plug-in module (workbench) for FreeCAD.

The workbench purpose is working with placements and arrays of placements. It is a sort of assembly workbench, but with emphasis on arrays. There are no constraints and relations, there are just arrays of placements that can be generated, combined, transformed, superimposed and populated with shapes.

Ever wondered how to create a protractor with FreeCAD? That's the aim of the workbench (including tick labeling). Also, exploded assemblies can be made with the workbench.

Additionally, the workbench features a few general-purpose tools, such as parametric downgrade, bounding boxes, shape info tool, and tools for working with collections of shapes (compounds).

One of the big design goals of the workbench is being as parametric as possible.
