Circular Instance in NX4
Circular Instance in NX4
(OP)
Does anybody know how to do a circular instance of a sweep in NX 4?
I have created a funnel shaped hole using the sweep command, then subtracting it from my solid. I would then like to instance (pattern) about the axis of my part. However, when I start the instance command, the solid part I have made is not an option to select.
Have I done something wrong?
What should I do to get this to work?

The beauty of creating a feature group as the input to an array pre-NX-5 was that it will allow the array to exist without a prior boolean. Of course if you do have to later perform multiple booleans those may be slower to process.
