Axis pattern fails to regenerate

For apparent no reason

Check my screenshots and tell me if I'm trying something beyond logic

The angle of that funky datum is 22.5º

    you can replace the hole depth reference by a datum point reference.

    this way you can control the depth of the hole if you change the round radius if that is your design intent.

    otherwise simply entering the depth value can also solve the problem.

    This should work, however, it's hard to say without actually having your model to examine. can you share it?

    I suspect your dimensioning/reference scheme falls apart when the pattern instance crosses the 180 degrees of rotation...

    Out of curiosity, does it fail if your pattern of 8 holes goes through 175 degree rotation?

      Lucas,

      I think you do not need DTM1 because you can relate hole to one of default planes and use Radial placement option.

      If you want to use DTM1 then create it as internal feature during Hole creation. You can investigate my Creo Parametric 2.0 model.

        Paul is correct.

        Before it reaches 180 degrees, there is no failure. No matter how many instances.

        360 degrees works with a maximum of 3 instances

        Martin,

        I did that extra plane to see if I could overcome the problem

        Before that, I did have a radial thing, similar to yours.

        The difference is that I've made 22.5º from a default datum. You've done 0º from an angled datum.

        Here's the file

          i think its your depth reference of hole which is causing the pattern failure. it works if you enter the required depth value oh hole directly.
