Independent control of part angle after pattern
Example problem we are trying to solve.
I have a plate with 100 holes. This pattern of holes was created using a fill pattern.
I assemble a round tube into the 1st hole and fully constrain including a datum called "ANGLE". This datum exists in the tube itself and is driven by a parameter. I need that I need control the angle
Now, I want to pattern this tube but be able to into any of the tubes afterwards and adjust the angle by changing that plane in the tube. All tubes used to be same angle so we would simply ref pattern and done. Now we need this control over each individual tube.
Is the best solution to create a UDF of the tube and assemble 1 at a time so the tube is it's own part for each hole?
Any other great ideas that cut down on the manual clicking and keeps the pattern a pattern?
Too bad we can't make a table and just vary the angle dimension across the pattern or by position.
Thanks!
Steve
