How can a Sketch Offset be made to update as expected when a Rectangular Pattern is updated?

Hi, I’d be grateful if anyone could help me figure out how to achieve this expected behavior.

 

 

Issue: Component-C Sketch1 Offset perimeter does not update as expected when the Rectangular Pattern of Component-A (R-Pattern1) is updated.

Expected Behavior: Altering the Quantity and or Suppression values in the Component-A Rectangular Pattern should cause the Component-C Sketch1 Offset perimeter to reflect the alterations.

 

Steps to reproduce issue:

  • Open Question-OffsetSupressedRectangularPatternChange v9 (file attached)
  • Observe Component-C Sketch1 is correctly offset from the perimeter of Component-B Body1
  • Click Component-A R-Pattern1in the History and adjust the Quantity/Suppression as required
  • Review and resolve any errors in the Component-B Combine1 step ensuring the target body is not changed and that all the required bodes are selected
  • ISSUE: Observe Component-C Sketch1 is NOT correctly offset from the perimeter of the updated Component-B Body1

The design has three elements which are currently implemented as distinct components:

  • Component-A: A hexagonal tile arranged with a suppressed rectangular pattern (R-Pattern1) to create a number of bodies.
  • Component-B: New Component created by combining the bodies of Component-A
  • Component-C: Sketch derived from the perimeter of the single body in Component-B

 

Example file and outline of creation process: (file attached)

Create New Component: Component-A

  • New Sketch
  • Define geometry
  • Extrude
  • Save
  • Suppressed Rectangular Pattern
  • Save
  • Combine Component-A bodies to New Component

Rename New Component to Component-B

  • Save

Create New Component: Component-C

  • New Sketch
  • Project Component-B Body1
  • Save
  • Offset projection perimeter
  • Finnish Sketch
  • Save
