Circular Associated Feature Pattern

[evan.wondra]

There would be added benefit to the Associated Feature Pattern if it could handle circular patterns. I want to pattern this angle to each hole, but keep the origin plane always passing though the center point. Since the holes are not symmetrical I cannot do a circular pattern. However when I do an associated feature pattern, the orientation are dependent of the first angle placed.

I think the best solution would be to use iMate.

One workaround for now could be to create a working surface body with the faces tangential at the centre points, so you can use sketch pattern with face selection to drive the angles.

You still have to create each face and select the manually though.
