Question

geometry pattern & feature pattern

Hi,

I've observed a difference in geometry pattern & feature pattern.

I've just migrated to Creo Prametric 2.0 from Pro E 3.0

While pattering a geometry - under the numbers box.

If I write the no. = 2, well it creates 2 geometry

If I write the no. =3, it creates 4 geometry

I want to understand the logic behind it.

Where as in the feature pattern-

If I write the no. = 2, well it creates 2 features

If I write the no. =3, it creates 3 features.

please Help!

Thanks!

That definitely looks like a bug. I had the same results using your method in the powerpoint; I'm on Creo 2.0 M70. I tried the following similar methods:

  • Method 1: Geom pattern the solid surfaces = bug
  • Method 2: Copy of the surfaces then geom pattern the copy = OK
  • Method 3: Select one surface then geom pattern, then use the references dialog to select more surfaces = OK
  • Method 4: Use ALT+CTL and select all surfaces individually then geom pattern = OK

It's not just Creo 2, it happens with earlier versions also. I'll see if it happens in WF5 but my guess is it will be the same.

If you turn off the solidify option on the Options tab on the Geometry References it copies the solid surfaces as you were expecting it to.
