Rectangular array along varying angle
Rectangular array along varying angle
(OP)
I am currently creating a load of template parts and have come on to do some wire mesh.
I have created a mesh which has a bend in it by creating a sketch, then using the tube feature.I then create a sketch and extrude and unite along the width. I unite because this then allows me to use array. I have tied in my expressions so I have the correct amount of wires along the length/width in relation to the pitch.
See image(htt p://i106.p hotobucket .com/album s/m270/mar k_noyce/un titled.jpg)
The trouble I am having is controlling the array along the length that has a varying angle. As the array uses the WCS, as soon as I change the angle the array falls over. Any ideas how I can do this?

RE: Rectangular array along varying angle
From the picture I see two legs of mesh. Is the array pitch different on each leg of the angle? If the pitch is the same, how about bisecting the angle with a datum plane and then use mirror feature(s) of the first leg of mesh?

Many thanks though
