When we are doing Assembly level Patterning,how can i split number of patterns into number of individual instance,

that is without Parrent child relationship to do changes as independent component,

Is there any option in Creo-2.0 Parametric,

To do instance Pattern ?

or how can i split the patterned component into number of individual instance ?

Thanks

You're looking for the feature called UNPATTERN. You can only access this in two cases:

  • When you've patterned a group
  • When you've patterned another pattern

It's also only available with:

  • dimensional patterns
  • table patterns

So it doesn't work with DIRECTIONAL patterns but this is not a big deal.

So... even if you just have one component you're patterning, select that component, right-click, and select Group to group it. Now go ahead and pattern it using a dimensional or table-driven pattern. Once you have the patterned instances in the right location, right-click on the pattern in the model tree and select Unpattern. You'll be left with individual groups in place of each pattern member. Select all of the groups at one time, right-click and select Ungroup. Now you have completely independent components which can be manipulated, deleted, etc without any parent-child relationships.

Hope that helps!
