Circular Patterning of Cut features not working as expected

Hi,

 

 

I have a repeatable issue with patterning features:

1) I use Loft w/ Cut  to create a radial hole in a cylinder

2) I use circular pattern to pattern the loft/cut feature.

3) The result is not an array of radial cuts. Pattern creates new attached solids in the profiles of the loft uses for the cut.

 

I tried a couple settings, but could not get this to work. Any thoughts?

 

I made a little video of the issue on a trivial part:

That is odd, but changing the compute type to optimized works

Hi,

For patterns, it is advisable to test options other than Identical.
In this case, in addition to Optimized, Adjust and Object type “Faces” also work.
