IFX: Screws on multiple parts

[MaikTheBike]

Hi,

I have created a 10mm thick plate that has to be screwed onto four linear guide bearings.

In the IFX-Diaglog I selected the face of the drilling and the front and back-face of the plate. Then I selected the screw that I want to use. After that IFX asks me, if I want to create a single screw or if I want to insert the screw on all instances. I selected "insert on all instances", but the screws are only added to one of the four bearings(4 of 16 screws).

When I try to use the "reuse"-command its not possible to select the face of the drillings of the other bearings.

To create the other screws I created four new screws for every bearing. It works, but its not very nice to change the size of the screws, because I have make a change four times (for every single bearing).

Is it possible to add all the screws to all four bearings with one feature?

Maybe someone knows a better solution ? 

Thanks,

Maik

@OliverGräbner ,

please can you answer the question ?

Hi Maik,

do you have another reference for your holes, e.g. an axis or a point?

You can send me your part, then I will have a look to your reference. The linear guide bearing should be enough to test it.

Another workaround: Create a point feature with 16 points in your main assembly and reference on the drilling surface of your holes.

Regards,
Oli

Hi Maik,

is this problem solved? 

If yes, please mark it as solved.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

I was able to create the screws using the point-feature.

I also created a mapkey that creates the screws very fast (for every Bearing separately), which also worked very well.

Thanks
