May 31, 2013Is it possible to take a feature created by a pattern and reuse it to create another pattern? I have a circular part on which I have created a linear pattern (using the rectangular pattern feature) of holes, 6 in total listed as 3 ccurrences. if we number the holes 1-6, I would like to make a circular pattern based off holes 2 and 5. I have been unable to figure out how to select the individual "occurrence" related to the hole once in the pattern feature. If I create the circular pattern first and then the linear and try to suppress the others it supresses both holes in the occurrence.

Jul 31, 2012I am creating an assembly with my base part being a weldment. I've added other components that mount to my base part. Now I need to add fasteners to the mating components. I have added my first fastener and now want to pattern the said fastener using the "Pattern Component" and by using the "Feature Pattern Select" option and selecting "Associated Feature Pattern". At this point I have already selected the component that I want to pattern and selected the "Associated Feature Pattern" to select my base pattern. The only problem is that I am unable to select the pattern desired.
A note on how my Weldment was constructed -The holes were created in the "machining" step of the weldment, not in the individual part before it was placed in the weldment assembly.
If I move the hole feature and its pattern to the individual part and then place it in the weldment assembly, I can then create an "Associated Feature Pattern" in my assembly file.Why can I NOT create the associated pattern when my hole features are created in the weldment assembly? Or am I missing something?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Assemble Fasteners To All Holes Created In Single Hole Feature
Jan 18, 2012I have a part with multiple holes created in a single hole feature (i.e. not patterned but made by selecting multiple sketch center points). As desired, the holes all have the same size since they all fit the same fastener. Is there a way to easily assemble fasteners to all the holes? Currently, I am using insert for each fastener and this gets tedius if there are many holes. Additinally, if the number of holes changes, a manual update is required. I'm hoping there is something that works similar to associative patterns.

Jan 17, 2010I have attached a jpeg file of a Plate out of a heat exchange.It shows half of the Plate but it is identical shape for top and bottom.I am able to create the solid shape but i need creating the numerous patterns onto the plate.How would i place the pattern feature onto the Plate?
Also from the picture there is a gasket.Would this be made as a separate part and placed on the Plate in a assembly file?Would the gasket be best made using sweep function?
I have created the plate as a solid model but would Sheet Metal also work or even be a better choice?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Circular / Rectangular Pattern Feature
Jul 23, 2012While using the Circular Pattern feature or rectangular pattern feature in Inventor, sometimes I want to extrude (join) or cut the drawings that I made (augmented) with using circular pattern feature, rectangular pattern feature. in this case do I have to choose all the augmented members one by one (for instance I make 42 augmented members), it can take a lot of time. also after applied any of these features I can't use trim feature, can I ? but sometimes using the trim feature after applying the Circular Pattern feature or rectangular pattern can be necessary.

Sep 19, 2012I have a Hole that cuts through 2 solid bodies, a gasket and a cover plate. I want to pattern the hole in BOTH solids at the same time, but the pattern feature dialog box will only let me select one solid at a time. I could pattern the hole in one solid before projecting to the other, but the quantity of the holes can change. When the quantity of the holes changes only the holes from the initial pattern are projected. For instance if I have 10 hole initially and it increases to 12 the 2 new holes do not project to the second solid body.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Feature Disappears When Circular Pattern Is Applied
May 31, 2013I created a partial sphere with six features on the surface of the sphere. I then applied a circular pattern to each of the siz features. I called the features r1, r2, ..., r6.
r1, r2, r5 and r6 worked as expected. there are 16 features evenly spaced around the surface.
r3 and r4 are different in that the original feature is missing after applying the circular pattern.
each of the six features is as identical as I could get them. I followed the same build seauence for all of them.
each feature is made up of four objects - cut1, cut2, sweep and dimple. I selected the four objects for a row, then applied the circular pattern.
If I delete the circular pattern for r3 or r4, the original feature becomes visible again.
So, why are r3 and r4 behaving differenly than the other four?
I have tried a number of things, including re-drawing feature r3 from scratch with no change in teh results.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Flat Pattern Not Working With Loft / Sweep Feature
Oct 10, 2009Following on from my post regarding a sheet metal component that was unable to create a flat pattern due to creating the component in an assembly; URL....I have found out that it wasn't the in place component that was the problem it seems to be the loft and sweep feature that cause this problem. I have thought about using the extrude feature (as this works) to create the shape and then cutting the ends to get the angles I want but that would be time consuming.
I have set up the sheet metal rule to be 3mm mild steel, any way creating this component and being able to create a flat pattern.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting Graphically Selected Occurrence Of Rectangular Pattern Feature
Oct 3, 2012We are using Inventor 2011 and I would like to make a small app that allows my users to graphically select one or more occurrences of a rectangular pattern feature Then allow them to suppress them if desired.
I have determined the code to loop through the pattern occurrences and toggle suppression for any instance. What I do not know how to do is determine which occurrences have been graphically selected.
At this time I am only concerned with round hole features. (Perforated metal)

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Model Cut Produced By Ball End Mill Taking Arbitrary 3D Path
May 17, 2012I've been trying to model cut produced by a ball end mill taking an arbitrary 3D path. I know how to do this for 2D paths (and this has been discussed a couple of times on this forum), but I have had little to no success extending this to paths in 3D. I've attached an Inventor file that demonstrates what I want to do, it has an sketch that describes the tip of the end mill and the path that I want the center of the tip to trace out.
This seems like something that should be possible using sweep feature, but if it is then I have not found a way to get this to work. The issue is that I have not been able to effectively control the angle of the sweep plane with respect to the path. In reality, the normal of the plane should be equal to the tangent of the path with the z-component zeroed out.
However, if I sweep using the path and the "Path orientation" then it does not zero out the z-component, if I sweep using the path and the "Parallel orientation" it does not take the x&y tangent components, if I sweep using a guide rail or guide surfaces it also does not zero out the z-component.
In fact, the only way I could come up with to accomplish this would be to sweep the path in 2D and then to use a series of bend part features in order to put things into 3D. So far as I can tell this works, but back calculating the 2D curve is so backwards and laborious that I can't imagine using this for anything. In Solidworks this is relatively easy using the sweep solid feature .

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pattern Won't Update Unless Edit The Pattern?
Nov 20, 2013I have an assembly which I am using as a icopy component. In the assembly I have the adaptive sketch which os used for the icopy function and a part which is adaptive to the sketch. I then have the part pattern itself in the assembly. The problem is the pattern will not update when changes are made unless I edit the pattern. The pattern references parameters from the sketch so that when the sketch changes the pattern should change. It works but the pattern will not update unless i open the pattern to edit it. Is there a vb function which will force the pattern to update when a change is made? I tried the update document vb functions but no change. I will try to get a sample together that is a smaller file size so you can see what I am talking about.
