I want to know what is the best way to do a rectangular patern that have over 200 center point. I have tried to do it in the sketch or in the part mode but in both case inventor took 10 minutes to do the operation. I have a pentium 4, 2g, 512meg ram
Is it really necessary to model all 200 holes?
Patterns of this size will slow down any PC and any package.
For grafic representation of the pattern in the
part/assembly you may try to apply a bitmap to the face, and suppose on a
drawing you will not have really drawn them all?

Patterns are indeed taxing. Might try
breaking it up into smaller patterns then mirror, copy or something like
that instead of trying to do it all at the same time.

In fact there not hole there oblong and i have to dimention the patern. So the bitmap solution don't work for me. I have tried the mirror thing and it is still slow.
In the old drafting board days, you would never
have drafted all 200 holes, but there is a suggestion (at least in or standards)
to draw a few of them in one corner, dimension these, and make a note that it
should stand for "200x equal spaced" or something like this.
Wouldn't this work for you?

Then do the pattern and wait your 10+ minutes, do your AVI, and then turn the pattern back off to keep it from dragging down your model for design. Besides, knowing how marketers/salespeople are they will probably complain to you anyway about the holes not being there and ask you to put them back in anyway.
The only faster way to do this is to get a faster computer. I'd suggest asking for an upgrade now while you have the current need for it to show off. Be sure to get Marketing in on it since they are the current target for the benefit of a faster computer. In my experience Marketing has a better knack for spending company money than Engineering does. 😉
That MIGHT be a tad faster but personally I'd rather just sit back and let the computer crank it out while I sit back, get a drink, and read the posts in this NG. B-)
