Pattern to follow curve
Pattern to follow curve
(OP)
I have set up a sketch of the path that I would like my part to follow. I have set up a pattern of points that follow this curve with appropriate spacing. I then use a reference pattern to bring in the part I want to follow the curve. My problem is that I have not found a way to get the parts to orient themselves with the curve. I can bring each part in manually by having it align to the next point in the pattern, but if I try to pattern with that, it will locate and orient to the first point.
Thanks for the help!

RE: Pattern to follow curve
I am using Wildfire 4.0, and there is an option to pattern along a curve (not sure if it is in previous versions - it's the last option on the list).
I created the below by using the end point of the sketch as a reference for the part.
