Array is not working fine.

Using IV2008 prof, I have a steel tube with some holes on it, when I make an array, only the tube is copied to other instances without the holes,
does any one know why?
My other question is how to get "3D hidden" view using autodesk design review 2009, as I always have hidden line visible at "edges only" mode. Thank.

Are the holes in the tube done at the part level or
done at the assembly level?

 

Will have to look into the D/R-2009 line
issue.

Hello

Have you created the holes in the tube PART (.ipt) file, or have you created the holes within the Assembly, ONTO the tube?

Are you trying to do a component pattern in the assembly or do a feature pattern of the holes?

If you can answer the above we may be able to help

With regards to the design review query, probably best to post that in the DWF community NG. There's some tutorials etc on there.


Thanks

Dan

That's your problem, you would need to create the
holes in the tube at the part(IPT) level for the holes to be in each instance.
Features created at the Assembly level are only valid for the parts that are
affected within the hole feature. The hole is not carried into the part at the
IPT level.

That steel is connected to another one via that hole, witch actually 2 holes, one on each steel, if I move that hole to the part, I will have to do the some for the other part, and calculate the exact position manually, so I will not take advantage of the hole feature in the assembly to have 2 or more object connected at the same time using only one hole operation, witch is as in real world.
thanks.

Think of your parts as each one is a finished part.
Are the holes drill separately, or drilled at the assembly level (field fit). If
you are modify a part to specifically fit a specific machine and the
modification is made at the machine level (assembly level feature), or are you
modifying the part to fit all machines (part level).
