Copying a Group of Features???
Copying a Group of Features???
(OP)
I have this panel in which I'm going to place a 3-hole-pattern (.250 center hole with 2x .102 on both sides) in various locations. Is there a way to group these three features (one cut, and 2 revolved cuts) so I can copy them to various places on the panel? Since I have created Datum Points for the placement targets, would it be possible to copy these features to the datum points?
I heard about "Group" but not sure how to use it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also I would show a JPG of what I'm trying to do, but not sure how to post one on this forum?
Thanks!

RE: Copying a Group of Features???
Depending on how your reference points were created and if your holes are placed colinearly, you may want to create a datum pattern if possible for the center hole and reference that point when placing your revolved cuts. Then you can pattern the center hole and Create a Reference pattern for your group using the patterned points.
I assume your pattern is not regularly spaced so you should be able to paste the group and pick the points you want your holes to be placed at.
To show a jpg please make a small copy of the jpg that's not to large so it will load quickly. Then place that photo on a shared webpage ang enter the following in your message.
[img image_file_web_address.jpg]
and it should show in your post.
