Edit patterned features individually

[JoshD818]

I have some holes patterned around the inside of a cylinder. They are all identical in depth and can only be changed if the original is. Is there a way to individually edit the depth of each hole or in other words turn off the patterning but keep the features?

Go to your browser and make the one you want to change independent ( Right click on the hole that you're looking for) .. then you can adjust it however you want, size, depth, delete whatever Mike

I right click on the hole but do not have an option to make it independent?

Josh,

What version of the software are you using?

I am using Inventor Pro 2014. It is the student edition but that shouldnt make a difference should it?

[JDMather]

There is no difference in functionality in the student license.

I have been using Inventor for several years and have no idea how to do what Michael  describes in his response.

I was hoping to learn something.

The only way I know is to Move Faces.

Josh,

No it doesn't make a difference in this case with the student edition.

I am not sure what Mike is talking about, because I do not see or remember seeing any such type feature.

This isn't even an assembly pattern feature.

Unfortunately the only way to do what you are describing is to not include the one you want to edit seperately in the pattern and place it independantly.

JD, Not sure what I asked that you don't understand??? All I asked is what version the OP was using.

Oops, I got Josh's response mixed up with yours.
Edited my response above.

Thanks guys. Just going to go ahead and do it the long way. Make a whole bunch of planes rotated about the centre of the cylinder and draw each hole separately

Sorry there sn't something better.  I would pattern what you can.

With this thread you might want to place an idea in the Inventor IdeaStation.

Then post a link to the idea of this thread and post the idea back in this thread.
