Circular Pattern Extrude/cut

[mcjj29909]

Circular pattern does not work.

Further in in the timeline you'll see I did set a tangent plane then sketch onto that plane then extrude/cut followed by circular pattern and that works.

Why doesn't it work using the origin plane?

Are any of your sketches fully defined?

How many bodies do you have?

[mcjj29909]

After the circular pattern of the 'fastening tab' there are now 3 bodies. Please see steps below that are in the timeline of attached drawing link

1 - I created the sketch with one 'fastening tab'.

2 - Then I extruded the sketch.

3 - I added my slot sketch to the origin plane

4 - Then extruded/cut the slot

5 - I tried to circular pattern the 'fastening tab' & slot but only the tab worked.

6 - I abandoned the slot as part of the circular pattern

7 -I did a circular pattern of the tab with success

8 - I then tried to circular pattern the slot without success

9 - Finally tried by adding a tangent plane

10 - sketched the slot on the tangent plane

11 - extruded/cut the slot using the tangent plane sketch

12 - then circular pattern the slot with success

I saw that you did not follow proper logic.

Thanks for taking the time to help, Where was my logic in error, so can avoid repeat logic flaws.

Before I create a video - did you examine the file that I attached previously?

(BTW - it was "working" for you, but you had three bodies over top of each other.)

[mcjj29909]

Yes I viewed it. You had 1 body, mine had 3 bodies, 2 were create during the pattern command. So I guess the 3 bodies is the issue. If that's the case, what I did do to cause the pattern command to create 2 additional bodies?
