As usual I am pushing Creo to the limit 🙂
This time I want to create a Reference Pattern which should follow a Feature Pattern and a Table Pattern at the same time.
I have created an example, see attachment (PRO/E Wildfire 4).
First I have created a simple support beam, which has a Family Table. That FT controls the pattern of the axis.
Next I created an assembly, placed the support beam and created a Table Pattern. So far so good.
What I would like to achieve, is that the peg follows both the Feature Pattern of the axis and the Table Pattern of the support beam.
I can't get my "Reference type" to show "Both", it sticks to "Feature".
Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

Reference pattern can follow single pattern only.
Not entirely true. A Reference Pattern can follow "multiple" patterns, but the Reference type should be Both:
I am using this type of pattern on a different component (a bolt) in my assembly. I first placed a bracket on the support beam, then I created a simple pattern. I then created a Reference Pattern, so the brackets follow the Table Pattern of the support beams (basicly a pattern of a pattern). As a last step, I placed a bolt and created a Reference Pattern with the Reference type "Both" so all brackets receives a bolt.
But as soon as I introduce a 2-direction pattern in my support beam for the peg to follow...I lose the ability to use "Both" as a Reference type.
