Question
Large Perf Patterns
I need to create a large pattern of cuts in flat sheet stock.
I used a technique many years ago (pre-WF) that I can not recreate.
I think it goes like this.
1) Create a flat surface that will cover the affected area, just on one
surface of the sheet stock. (labeled a "Surface" in the model tree)
2) Create a surface that is the profile of the cut and starts on one
surface of the sheet stock and ends on the other.
3) Pattern #2 as desired. All members must be inside the perimeter of
#1.
4) Surface merge #1 with #2
5) Reference Pattern #4
6) Create a cut using #5.
This regenerates very quickly.
But I can't for the life of me recreate it in WF2.0.
Can anyone help?
