EDIT PATTERN BY RELATIONS

[MB_10508968]

Hi,

I've done a relation for chose the constraint set of a component in an assembly.

The relation works well with the component.

The component constrained is the leader of a pattern of two items.

When I change the leader constraint, the other item should modify his position simmetrically w.r.t. a central plane, so I've done a direction pattern with the dimension twice the annotation distance between the component and the plane of simmetry.

When I chose the leader constrain, I have to edit the pattern feature to regenerate the position of the other item: how can I update the simmetrical position of the other item without edit the feature pattern?

Thanks in advantage.

Best regards,

Michele Barile

Hi Michele,

You can try regenerating a second time.  Creo and previous releases have historically occasionally required a second regeneration to update certain relation objects.

If that does not do it, you can also force the regeneration via:

1. dragging the insert mode to the top then back to the bottom
2. use the Tools > Model Player to roll back the model and completely regenerate

Have you chosen not to use the mirror component constraint? If so, is that because it will not capture your design intent?
