CREO 10 pattern radial distance extra dimension

[JP_10357670]

When creating a pattern in CREO 8, if the 2nd direction members were set to 1, the radial distance box would be greyed out and would not give any extra dimensions. In CREO 10, this box is always active and always gives you an extra dimension. Is there a way to prevent this new extra dimension?

Hi,

Hello, I have the same question. Could you please share your created case and the solution?

Adiitionally, is the a setting option for the value of the radial distance, to set the default to 0?

Thanks.

Hello,

I have not received any feedback from PTC so I do not have a solution. As of right now the value is random and I couldn't find an option to set a default value.

The pattern tool was updated for Creo 10. 

Dimension Pattern—More Flexibility for Pattern of Pattern

This functionality was added by PTC in part based on my request for the ability to create a variable axial pattern. You can visit this old thread here to see the problem and use case submitted to PTC leading to this new functionality.
