instance feature vs circular array
instance feature vs circular array
(OP)
I looked at instance feature since NX5. I followed an example John shown (I liked). A flanch with instanced sketch and the new hole. Now I want to do component field with those holes and a bolt. Doesn't work or what I have done wrong? Iset only works with the instance hole?

RE: instance feature vs circular array
Instance geometry creates the same end result (holes in a flange) but the component array does not recognise it as an instanced feature.
So in this case use a simple hole, create an array feature, then use ISET OR use Instance Geometry and accept the limitations of a manual component array.
I've only tested this in 5, Perhaps John B will have a little more detail on the limitations of this, it's a couple of years since I worked for Siemens..
