Workbench - Automate coordinate system creation using geometry parameters?

Workbench - Automate coordinate system creation using geometry parameters?

(OP)
Hello,
I'm using workbench and would like to automate the creation of lots of coordinate systems based on geometry parameters.
I've found a way to do it by creating planes in design modeller and then exporting them for use later but it's a very convoluted way to do it and is time consuming.
Is there an easier way to do it? I used to use a plane to split the geometry to create a vertex which I then used to create a coordinate system. but I don't want to put too many splits in this geometry so have avoided this method.
Many thanks
George
