Need help using the pattern command.

I have abandoned trying it on my part, and have just extruded  a cube, and put a hole in it. I want to pattern the hole. I'm getting errors such as No valid owner found for the reference object. I have tried to follow the help file, but after hours of attempts, I've given up trying.

I can't select the hole. All I get is the above error message, along with another that I can't reproduce at the moment.

Can anyone point me to a source that helps out with explaining this?

Thanks, Gregg

Probably the problem is that the hole is not yet a valable feature for the program.

Look at the following pictures.

Select the (2) faces of the hole and confirm the selection.

Klick on the blue icon and confirm the dialog.

Now you have a feature. See "Poket" below p01.

If the hole goes trought the part the name will be "Breakthrough" and you will get an other symbol.

Now go to Feature and make choice between the different pattern.

I will show Linerar Grid.

Select the Poket and go on to fill the yellow menue fields.

i think the following picture is selfs explaining.

If the arrow for the selection of the direction will not point in the good direction, right klick in empty place and klick on

Apply reverse.

And confirm.

Good luck and have pleasure with this Programm

The problem is where he selects the feature, I get an error message. Yes, I already watched that video. I have wasted more time  with this creo than it's worth. Terrible documentation.

What is going on that I can't select a feature? That's the question I'm trying to figure out.

By the way, 2d pattern does work. But that won't help me pattern the holes in 3d.
