I wrote that very script for someone long long ago...
It's in the PluginStore........
Thank you TIG, I'll see if it does what I am hoping for.
My ultimate goal is to be able to work on any selection of edges, not only the ones along current drawing axes but also the ones that have different values for all three coordinates at both ends, thus "true 3D". And thereby replace them all by 3D-Polyline with same lengths as the edges, hence the scaling of the component per instance.
Doing this manually, edge by edge is very laborious and silly if a plugin could do the job.
The 3D pPolyline is wrapped in the component with "definition scale 1:1" say 1000mmm in length.
It would allow one to convert chunks of geometry into a visial reference without the ability, nor the hinder of inferencing to it.
Also see this thread about some options for using such a script:
