tlehnhaeuser Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Heres a quick way to populate patterns with components of your choice. http://www.magnacad.com/softwaredivision/l...atterndemo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmccall Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yes.. that is slick... Pro WildFire.. has an interesting way to do this... Take for instance your example ... in WildFire.. once you place the bolts on the hole.. you can select the pattern option.. then select "reference" option... Pro will automatically duplicate the pattern for the bolts since it knows that the hole has a pattern feature tied to it... That way ... if you change the pattern for the hole.. the bolt pattern will update also... you have only 1 pattern to adjust.. not 2... also if you change the shape of the hole pattern.. the bolts will also follow.. pretty slick I must admit.. I think IC could also do this somehow... mabe some type of "mystical AIPCIAPIC" programming? But your example gets us halfway there.. Thanks Tom...

tlehnhaeuser Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yeah Max, I think just about any MCAD software will do this and I think IC really needs to add asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
