Arrays of features or components

Arrays of features or components

Arrays of features or components

(OP)
I would like to ask, if its possible to create more enhanced array of features or components. For example creating circular array with two changing coordinates with each instance ( angle and Z coordinate ) or instances on a curve? All of these parametric and driven by expressions...

I would also like to ask, why I am not able to create array of bodies itself, but if I create a group containing for example just a single body, it works?

Can you use an array of group to create referenced component array?

Is it possible to create an array of datums?Planes,axis etc.

Thanks
Vit

RE: Arrays of features or components

With NX 5, you can create instance sets of any geometric object, including solid/sheet bodies, curves, points, faces, etc. using the 'Instance Geometry' function.

However, this cannot be used to Instance Features or Components.
