Hello, so I want to  make a drivebelt from these two parts:

I have tried making an assembly of the parts and then making a pattern and also doin this all in one part. I have tried (pattern function) both with points, but then the block wont follow the bend, and i  have also tried with Curve pattern, But then it wont follow the bend good either, lower pic

I have done this with Flatten Quilt and flatten quilt deformation like this video:

Design belt with tool Flatten Quilt and Flatten Quilt Deformation in Creo 1.0 to Creo 3.0 - YouTube

But then it becomes a gap in the belt..

So how to do it good?

You probably need to select the pattern origin.  It is in options of the pattern creation.

What happens is that the object is transferred but it goes from the bounding box origin of the original object to an offset position which propagates the error as the pattern is distributed.  Very annoying actually.
