Drilling holes along a curved line through two objects at a time

[fernweh73]

Hey there community!

I have a question for you I'm not managing by myself. I'm constructing a wooden bench and for fixing the latches to the corpus I'd like to have a 2mm drillhole going through every latch in the middle of the width of the latch and the middle line of the corpus, reaching 20mm into the corpus. The top of the hole in the latch should also be sunken to have a aligning screw head. I already created a path connecting the surfaces of all latches but unfortunately don't manage to spread & define the positiong of the holes and would be glad for some advice. Thanks a lot!

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Unfortunately not, since it's a new design. Any theoretical advice?

Why not go back in time and get one slat and aligned screw established before the pattern on path?

[fernweh73]

That's a good idea though I'd like to learn how to align holes alongside a curved path...

And here I am Patterning a Feature and the feature is Combine Cut (Drill) along the same path and settings as used to create the pattern of slats and rivets(in this case)as

Hey! That works great for beginning and end!

Unfortunately, along the way the alignement gets a bit messed up:

Any advice?

Can you make up a simple dummy assembly to illustrate the Design Intent?

(I could reproduce based on your pictures, but trying to save time and effort on my end.)

Tip: Where does your curve start and where does it end? (Doesn’t look correct in your pictures.)

based on LC4 (Le Corbusier)

Here you go...thank's a lot for having a look into it!

[fernweh73]

The comparison to LC if flattering 😉 It's a bench, yes, apart from that unfortunately far away from the master...

Hi,

create 2 patterns on path.

That did the trick. Thanks a lot Günther!
