Number of patterned components incorrect

Number of patterned components incorrect

Number of patterned components incorrect

(OP)
Good morning, hope all is great.

We are having a problem...

We create a derived component pattern of bolts, using a hole wizard feature that has 4 holes. We are patterning 1 bolt (seed component). We expect to see 4 bolts in total after we create the pattern, but instead there are 5 bolts (1 seed + 4 patterned components). This is incorrect.

Has anyone run into something like this?

RE: Number of patterned components incorrect

Double-check to make sure you don't have multiple points in the HW pattern.

Are you placing the bolt in the "seed" hole and then creating the component pattern using the HW sketch pattern? Or using the Smart Fastener function?

cheers

Thanks, CBL

No, there are only 4 points (i.e. no extra multiple points).

We are placing the bolt in the "seed" hole and then creating the component pattern using the HW sketch pattern.

SW07-SP4?

cheers

RE: Number of patterned components incorrect

In which hole is the extra component located?

RE: Number of patterned components incorrect

(OP)
Yes, SW07-SP4.

The extra component is in the same location as the first sketch point of the location sketch in the Hole feature.

cheers,

See the Knowledge Base ID# S-09163 and S-012019.

RE: Number of patterned components incorrect

Could be a glitch per the KB items, but it sounds very much like an extra point has been placed on the seed point. Try deleting the seed point to see if another one exists. If not, delete all the points and re-create the HW pattern.

You are right! Hope they fix that soon.

In the meantime, there are work arounds.
