Slide Machining For Drawer Box Member

We noticed that the default way MV handles drawer box slide machining includes only the carcass but not the drawer box machining side, for us it is no big deal to do the face 6 flip so that is what we are used to doing. We ended up modifying the wood drawer box subassembly to include this and just did some copying/pasting/filling out to get what we needed in the deign data sheets and then saved it as a new subassembly so it isn't overwritten by an update but it does break the link so if anything change with drawer boxes we will need to move this all over and save as a new again, not a huge deal but I know we aren't the only ones dealing with this workaround. Most annoying part is filling out the hole locations for all the different lengths as it's common for them to be similar but not all the same.

It would be nice for this to be a built in option, it wasn't particularly difficult to add and it would be easy to make a check box to turn it on and off for the library team. I see some older post about this but wanted to resurface it as I am curious how many others out there would like this to be built in?
