Locate the assembly rectangular pattern

Anonymous — Sat, 15 Dec 2018 07:14:09 GMT

I create one main assembly it contains 100 or more sub assembly.

sub assembly are not same with each one, if it is same i create rectangular pattern.

In my case mostly 10 different type sub assembly came for all 100 assembly.

I want to locate or pattern the 100 sub assembly used by 10 type.

Is this possible to do with i logic ?

I attached a image. In image i shown only plan view pitch will be 100. Some times pitch also varying.

Hello @Anonymous,

iLogic should work, have you figure out it already?

However, in your image, it shows holes, not sure if you are talking about feature pattern rather than component pattern or not.

Hope it helps!

Hi! iLogic should work but you will need to provide a bit more detail description. But, if I understood your request correctly, you may want to consider using Sketch-Drive Pattern based Component Pattern. Here is what you need to do.

1) Create a new part.

2) Create a 2D Sketch -> create sketch points spaced exactly like how you want to pattern the component.

3) Create a workpoint based on one of of the sketch point.

4) Sketch-Drive Pattern -> pick the workpoint and pick the sketch -> The workpoint will be patterned to the sketch points.

5) Place this part into the assembly.

6) Component Pattern -> pick the components to be patterned -> pick the workpoint pattern as the feature source.

The components will be patterned to the workpoint pattern.

Many thanks!
