Radial pattern of rectangles creation using ProENGINEER Wildfire

To the expert...



Apologies to the last respondant... my inbox got cleared.



When a hole extrusion is placed on a surface, it is easy to create a radial pattern because references become polar. When a rectangular extrusion is placed on a surface it gets cartesian coords, and patterns are assumed to be of a square array type.



How can a radial pattern of rectangles be produced?



Thanks


Search Google groups for the original:

"Datum on the fly should do fine. (Through axis, Angle) Just make sure all dimensions and contrains are referenced to "on the fly Datum" and Axis for radial pattern.

WF or WF2 (as per previous post)?

WF: you'll need a rotational dimension to seed the pattern (or so I remember). WF2: drop down pick "Axis" and specify the axis to rotate about.
