Cut multiple PartDesign::Body objects with a single sketch

How AssemblyCut Works

Workflow
1 User creates a sketch on any plane (cutting profile)
2 Select the sketch in the model tree
3 Press the AssemblyCut button in the PartDesign toolbar
4 A dialog opens showing all PartDesign::Body objects in the document

Auto-Detection

The addon automatically detects which bodies are intersected by the sketch:
Extrudes the sketch wire as a Face in both directions (±10000mm)
Tests BoundBox.intersect() + common().Volume > 0 against each body
Intersected bodies are pre-selected and listed first in the dialog

Body Selection Dialog

Check/uncheck bodies to cut
Use arrow buttons (▲/▼) next to each body to reorder
Select All / Deselect All buttons available

Cutting Process

For each selected body (in order):
The body is activated (double-click)
The sketch is copied into the body via addGeometry
The copy is selected in the model
PartDesign Pocket command is triggered (opens native Pocket dialog)
User sets depth, taper, direction, through-all for each body
After confirming, the next body is processed (300ms delay)

After All Cuts

Each body has its own independent Pocket feature in the model tree
All Pockets can be double-clicked later to adjust parameters

_Technical Details_

Uses Qt QTimer (200ms) to detect when the Pocket task panel closes
Works entirely within the PartDesign workbench
Compatible with FreeCAD 1.1+

Your addon has a duplicated structure, both the old-style and new-style layouts -- you should remove the old-style (Init.py and InitGui.py) and keep only the new.

Your package.xml file is also non-compliant -- please see the documentation here: https://freecad.github.io/Addon-Academy/Topics/Structuring/Manifest . In particular, your Description text should be only a single line (no newlines) and should be only 1-2 sentences. Your FreeCAD dependency uses invalid syntax. Your url entries are also incorrect.

Thanks @chennes! I have addressed all the issues:

Removed old-style files: deleted Init.py, InitGui.py, Commands.py, and AssemblyCutCore.py from the root directory. Only the new-style freecad/AssemblyCut/ structure remains.
Fixed package.xml: single-line description, removed invalid dependency (replaced with ), corrected all URLs with proper branch= attribute, added tag, added ./, and followed the Addon Academy manifest format.
Please review the updated repository.

Thanks, looks better now. You still have a duplicate of AssemblyCutCore.py though.

Thanks @chennes! I've removed the duplicate AssemblyCutCore.py from the root directory. Only the new-style freecad/AssemblyCut/ structure remains with the updated version. Please review.
