Goal

Create a macro that generates a parts list from the object list labels in a module file. Also, separate the module objects into individual, separate FCStd files with unique names based on the object list labels. This automation will significantly speed up the generation of module parts lists such as for File:8footwall.FCStd

Estimated Time Savings

Modules with a dozen parts might take 1-2 hours to separate into parts gallery and associated FCStd files on the wiki. With a macro to generate the parts, this time could be reduced by nearly half.

Work in Progress

Developing a script based off of [Macro Dump Objects Script]
