Modifying centred patterns

[richard.jacksonJ4NYZ]

In the attached picture, I have used centred pattern for the radial holes. I have added an extra hole (clouded).

How can I modify the original centred pattern to include this new hole. Deleting & re-creating the pattern will lose the angular dimensions, which I want to keep.

Hi!

There's no other way to do it other than edit the pattern.

You don't need to delete the pattern, you can edit the feature and change the number of holes.

Not sure if you fully understood my question.

Modifying a modelling pattern to alter the number of holes is fine.

What I want, is to edit/modify the original 'centred pattern' on the drawing view that shows the centre lines.

As the angular dimensions are attached to the centre lines I want to keep these, so deleting the centred pattern will also delete the dimensions.

Is there a way to include the new hole (ie: create a radial centre line) within the existing 'centred pattern'?

A quick fix is to create a new centred pattern and only using 3 holes (the new one & both adjacent holes).

I was hoping for a solution to edit/modify the original 'centred pattern'. This problem will regularly occur for me as I modify older model/drawings.

cheers

OK, i understood...

I don't think there's a way to edit that.
I would go with your quick fix.
