feature along path

[mi.silva]

I'm doing a pattern along path, but as I repeat the feature it starts to deviate from the path, any ideas on how to correct that?

Thanks all

Sketch1 is very rough.

If I zoom in there is geometry overtop of other geometry?

Edit: OK, I see what you did in next sketch.

I am unfamiliar with this feature, but apparently it can be controlled to some degree by moving this point.

However, I feel that it is not possible to align it perfectly.

If we are going to extend this further, the results would be better with tangent constraints here.

Hi,

Exact alignment with the path is only achieved if the centre of the object (features) is correctly referenced to the path.
Either you move the starting point manually as it was done by @Bunga777  or you create the feature on a defined plane and get the changed starting point automatically.
In the screencast I show how to do this.

Hi Guenther

Thanks a lot for the video, seems I'm failing to replicate yours, I will send it bellow, even if I have the path on the middle of my first body its corners are not coincident with the path, and your file is giving me an error to open, so I  can not double check it.

What do you expect? That's what convave or convex contours bring with them.

Ok, I see, meanwhile I have been doing this bellow, so I do it with a 3 point rectangle that 2 of the points are on the path, so that way the slots will all be 30 by 12, but takes a bit of patience.. 🙂
