Question

multiple axis pattern angles for a target feature

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M040

Question regarding the axis pattern function. Is there a way to enter multiple angles for a target feature (or group of features) or is the function limited to multiple placements of just one angle?

    Everything I've ever seen seems to indicate that you're only allowed a single angular pattern pitch. Something along the lines of a combination table/axis pattern doesn't exist, as far as I know. If someone knows differently, I'm eager to hear how to do it.

    If you create the first feature based on a radial dimension about the axis, you can use pattern by table to enter any values that you want for the angle dimension.

      thank you for the tip.  It certainly works for a feature that can be dimensioned from the axis (where the sketching plain of the feature is perpendicular to the to the axis).  I was not aware of the technique.  But the case I'm working with the feature's sketching plain parallels the pattern's axis so I am unable to create the angle demission (at least I have not figured out a way). 

       

      See screen shot below:

      In the below screenshot, is the axis of the extrude feature I am attempting to pattern.

      Looks like you are creating a feature that needs to follow an existing set of features.

      Are the original features patterned?

      Can you create the secondary features using references to the original?

      If you can the secondary feature with pattern as a reference pattern.
