Strictly FWIW: A couple of woodworking specific plug-ins that may be of interest can be downloaded at:
Here is what they purport to offer:
Create Board - creates a named component, with all three dimensions and oriented in space. Resize Board - One dialog box editing of all three dimensions. Drill Board - a repeating tool for drilling holes in components. Dado Board - a repeating tool for Dadoing boards. Set to front - Sets a component to the xz plane with one click. (Handy for creating cutting list scenes). Set Relative - moves a component relative to another in all three dimensions. (Handy for setting boards in space).
FWIW ... YMMV.
