Instance Geometry
Instance Geometry
(OP)
NX 6.0.5.3
I have instanced a feature through 45 degrees, 7 times. I subsequently subtract the 8 features from my model.
I now increase the number of instances to 10 (and reduce the angle). How do I get my subtract to 'include' the additional 2 features ?
I know I can use a circular array, but was hoping to make use of instance geometry.

Guess I'll stick with the circular array till it's "fixed".

Insert -> Synchronous Modeling -> Reuse -> Pattern Face...
...Pattern (i.e., 'instance') using the same circular parameters the faces created when you performed your first Boolean subtract operation. This way the system does not need to try and reapply Boolean operations on additional 'tool bodies' if you change the number of Pattern instances in the future.
