Hello, I'm going out on a limb here but here goes! Using Pro/E Wildfire 3 - I wish to pattern a Group of 5 extrusions all based from a reference sketch - The first pattern is a 180 rotate around an axis of 1 instance - this is required to create a copy of the pocket facing the other direction - Next these two pockets (now grouped) are patterned 160 times across a flat featureless plate using a direction pattern in 2 axes, 24 instances in one axis and 7 in the other. The problem I am having is this: - Approx 3000 features require generation and this takes upwards of 15minutes on my system, this isnt going to work for me! Is there any way I can simplify the pocket so patterning is faster? I'm getting desperate! I'd be happy to upload the part if only I had (or knew of) a server I could upload it to! Other notes: - I cannot reference pattern - option is greyed and I dont know why? - I cannot control pattern options to change pattern type (general etc), the option is greyed out. - I have tried copying and solidying then patterning but the regeneration fails, error 'Failed regeneration' Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
