I am trying to create an infographic that has a circular pattern. I'm hoping there is a streamlined process that allows me to start with a linear set of bars/pattern (with vertical text) and then automatically transforms the set to an evenly-spaced radiating pattern.
Here are some examples of what I would like to achieve: [URL] ....
How can I make a circular pattern of a single occurence of a rectangular pattern?
A shaft has a rectangular pattern of holes (along its axis) on its surface. I want to pattern the 4th occurence of this hole pattern as a circular pattern? Can I do it in Autodesk. I can not select the a specific occurance of a patterned feature to pattern it again.

As you see in the template photo (the photo was scanned by Microsoft Security Essentials, healthy) I wanted to extrude my circle, and I made 28 pieces with circular pattern feature; now, do I have to choose all the pieces by one by to be able to choose all?
The sum of the problem: while 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.?
I am trying to create a logo with curved text at the top and bottom of a circular image, with spaces at the sides.
So, Curved text along the top of the circle and then curved text along the bottom, alinged and with the same amount of empty space between the text at each side of the circle.
I am struggling to get the text to be symmetrical and aligned evenly
i'm using illustrator cs5. making a pattern containing a pattern. i have some illustrations that i've put a simple polka dot pattern behind. in order for illustrator to accept it as pattern, i've been expanding the polka dot part before dragging it over to the swatches panel. however, when i do this it slows everything down tremendously and usually makes the system crash.

Follow the same procedure in each case, drag symbol (or place own symbol) to library then to document, make pattern (all works fine) but then "save a copy" in 64 only saves the original symbol not the pattern(in my case).... 32bit saves the pattern.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to model a multi cavity mould tool. The cavities themselves do not follow either a circular or rectangular pattern.I have modelled one of the cavities using a revolve internal to the tool. I have also sketched out on the upper surface centre points where I need the cavities to be.
I was hoping I would be able to copy the cavity feature, select a base point and then use the centres from my second sketch to place the cavities.
I don't seem to be able to find this option. The copy and paste feature will likely work but it is hugely long winded positioning each cavity individually. Any method I might be able to use to model such a part?
I have modelled a disc, which has 6 cylindrical extrusions in a circular pattern on the disc surface. I want to change the number of occurrences (the "placement") to 9 but the "OK" button is disabled. I get the preview od the 9 occurrences, but it will not complete the command.

I need to know what sketch is associated to either a "Rectangular"or "Circular"array. This is so I can filter out sketches that are not repeated in an array.

I want to arrange these outer circles in a corcular pattern at equal distance and at equal angle from each other without using circular patten feature in assembly tab. How do I do that.
The reasomn I dont want to use circular pattern in assembly tab is if I do that then, I cannot change color of each outer circle separatly If I change one color it changes color for all of these whcih i dont want.
I want to have each outer circle of different color.

I am using a circular pattern to re-position an internal keyway and am wondering if it is possible to supress the original keyway? Right now I have to give it a 'Placement' value of 2 to get the keyway to shift the amount I want, and as such it keeps the original as well as the new (overlapping them). I wish to suppress only the original one leaving new one...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View Relatedmy create a circular pattern in an assembly that maintains the orientation of the part being patterned.
This is for foundation plates. There are 3 plates. The plates are square, and have bolt holes in the corners of the plates. Since there are 3 plates and its going around a circle, the angle between the plates is 120 degrees.
Now, Ive been trying this for some time now and what is happening is the firs plate is fine, but then the second and third plate are rotated around their center axis. I would like it to simply remain as inserted and constrained within the assembly.
I have attached a picture to be more clear about what I want and what I'm currently getting.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a family of parts that consist of a round disc with a fixed OD and a circular pattern of notches cut into the OD. The notches must go to a certain depth from the center, so those parameters are set. My problem is that I need to control the amount of material left between the notches, along the OD, after the pattern is done. Given the fixed parameters of the major OD, minor OD (3.5" in this case) and number of notches, the only way to control the amount of material between notches is to change the angle. When I set up the sketch to do the notches, I can only get a fully constrained sketch if I assign a specific angle to the notch. I need to be able to set it up so that the angle of the notch varies so the end result is a specifc amount of material left after the circular patter is completed.
In the attached PDF, I show what I have done so far. In this case the OD of the part is 4" and the diameter of the notch at it's closest to the center is 3.5". So basically, I end up with a driven parameter of 0.443. If I assign this value the parameter of d14, I need to make it equal to a ratio of another parameter (let's call it d15) so that d14 = d15*2.. This can only be accomplished by changing the angle.
In my family, the major OD and minor OD remain the same, but the angle must change to retain a specific amount of material between the notches when the number of notches is increased or decreased.
Is there an iLogic rule I can write to control this?

I have chosen different sizes in the pattern window but all show up with seams when I fill the larger space. Am I doing something wrong or is the largest size you can create with this tool seamlessly only 9x9?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI love the new Pattern Maker in CS6, but I keep running into a problem:
When I create a pattern that is NOT tiled in Grid (i.e. Brick), it usually works without any problem. But once I save and re-open the file, opening the pattern in PM again will show this message:
A clipping mask was created around the pattern tile bounds to preserve legacy pattern appearance. For best results, release the clipping mask when changing the tile size or editing art that overlaps the tile edge. I would then find that, instead of a single motif layed out in a Brick tile, I would have one complete motif in the center and four quartered motifs on the corners of one clipping box. This is tiled in a Grid pattern to emulate a Brick appearance.
So long story short, what's supposed to be a Brick tile turns into a Grid tile that's faking a Brick tile.
Is there a way to keep the simple Brick tiles?
