![]() I had trouble just figuring out how you placed the original set. However, the inter relationship between the two parts can get messy. Of course, patterning a pattern is not always that successful, but in general, this is the right idea. regen and whallah! holes patterned in the part according to the assembly relation "pitch". In the sample assembly, activate the plate pattern the bolt pattern (show features in the model tree) use direction 1 and direction 2 and drag the dragger in the right direction okay the pattern and now edit the pattern dimensions, direction 1 and enter "pitch" and let it save it as a relation select the value for direction 2 and replace that with "pitch". To copy the pattern, I simply did the same thing (patterned the pattern of holes using direction). So yes, you have already created external references for the bolt holes in the plate by defining the axes where the holes were placed in the plate. The more complex the operation, the higher the likelihood of corruption.Ĭan you share more about what you wish to achieve to better match a method? This is where I get squeamish about external references. Things to remember about external references is to know when the part level updates and how changes are rolled up at all levels. Typical for tooling operations, but useful in some other cases. There are quite a few options when you do this.ģrd, you can use merge models in case you need some extensive external reference. You can change a part feature to some assembly level value. These work well and they create an external reference automatically.Ģnd, consider a flexible model in the assembly (make flexible). I don't know the limitations, but take a sketch, for instance, and create assembly references in the sketch. I am no expert at creating cross part references but I do know of a few options depending on what you are trying to achieve.ġst of all, you can easily create external references by activating a component in the assembly and using assembly references in the currently active part.
