Seems to work fine for me then.</P> Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:54:17 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/rectangular-pattern-not-working-on-round-components/m-p/5614603#M377473 Anonymous 2015-04-30T17:54:17Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/rectangular-pattern-not-working-on-round-components/m-p/5614642#M377474 <P>Cutting same identical material.</P> <P>Click <STRONG>Adjust</STRONG>.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>pg 14</P> Thu, 30 Apr 2015 18:20:36 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/rectangular-pattern-not-working-on-round-components/m-p/5614642#M377474 JDMather 2015-04-30T18:20:36Z
