Issue creating a valid parameter for rectangular pattern quantity

Anonymous — Sat, 05 May 2018 13:24:49 GMT

Hey,

Im having some issues getting a rectangular pattern quantity parameter to work correctly. In the attached screencast I was able to get one of the two parameters to work.

parameter rectplength works fine; however the parameter rectpwidth is non functioning, the format is identical for both parameters. As seen in the screen cast the parameter rectplength functions for both directions in the rectangular pattern.

Im lost, any advice?

You can try this workaround, it helped me with somewhat similar issue related to how fusion accepts and stores expression in feature parameters (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-support/issue-with-expression-in-feature-parameter/m-p/7974448#M25755)

1. Make R-pattern with any parameters F360 allows you.

2. then go to Change parameters and find that Sketch -> R-pattern you just made.

3. Change parameters there and look if F360 allows you to put there what you want.

If it helps then this should be linked to my issue also.

For anyone still finding this issue. When you create your paramiter you have to select the correct "UNIT" if you are trying to use something which is in mm it won't work. If you select "no units" it works fine

strmcdonald is right except there is an important gotcha here, probably what the op was running into. The parameter value has to be an integer. If theres any fractional part to it fails. You solve this simply by wrapping the expression in floor(...) or ceil(...)
