Using Punch Tool on Several Faces of Contour Flange

[mattjelbart2204]

I have created a punch in inventor 2015 which I'm trying to apply across several (colinear) faces on a contour flange.

Screenshot below:

I've tried including all centre points on the sketch for the iFeature, however this is not working.

I've also tried creating a rectangular pattern of the single punch - this also does not work.

I suspect that it might be a problem with the punch that I've created.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the punch tool across multiple (colinear) faces on a contour flange?

Your punch tool is not created properly.

Attach the file here that you used to generate your punch tool.

Attach the file here that you want the punch(es) placed on.

I was hoping that would be the case - otherwise I would have been looking at inserting all instances one by one!

Sheet metal file & punch profile files attached.

Your files are in 2016

Work Plane1 is created incorrectly - it's only parent should be Sketch2.

Fillet1 is not correct.

Thank you for the tips re: parents coming from sketch2 & fillet error.

Apologies for the delayed reply - I've just returned from leave/honeymoon.

I've updated the punch tool and attempted to apply it to the same sheet metal file.

The first instance (the punch on the face on which the sketch is created) works well, however only the cut feature is created on the subsequent instances.

All instances of the punch preview as though they'll work properly, however the sweep feature does not work the subsequent instances.

The obvious and usual request - attach the files here.
