Anyone..

[MattUK]

Erm, I have completed a single thread..done..ok then I want to pattern that thread to the other holes, when the pattern tool is used/finished this is what I am left with ??


Thanks

I don't fully understand what you're asking or what version you're on (WF2?) but perhaps you could create the hole and thread, group them and then pattern the group.

Hi Burnsp


cheers for the reply..


I am using WF2, well the idea is to creat a thread andthenpattern it, to the other holes


I tried to group and nothing changed.....hm I need to get my hands on a good Book?? any recommendations !


I think I need more memory...when putting a large assembly together it slows everting down.


again thanks for your help !!

MattUK,


In order to create a thread and pattern it to a patterned holetry this.


1. create the hole


2.create a point at hole center


3.create a center curve for helical cut and refer only to hole center point


4.create a helical cut for threadusing the curve


5.group the hole,point,curve and thread then pattern


I think it will work, hope it helps...

I seriously hope that you are not using a helical cut to create a
thread. It would make the model significantly big and slower than it
needs to be for no real benefit.



Patterning a thread to an existing hole pattern is dead simple and you
should not need to group it with the hole. If it is not working there
is probably something weird with your model. First thing to check is
that the cosmetic thread is referenced to the first member of the hole
pattern.



Other than that you may have to post the model to see if someone can debug it for you.

My suggestion is,

1. Create the hole
2. Pattern hole using axis pattern
3. Create cosmetic thread, or helical cut if you insist, on your first hole feature in your hole pattern
   
   
4. Pattern thread using reference pattern
