[NX8] Pattern feature question
[NX8] Pattern feature question
(OP)
Hi,
If I use the 'Copy Feature' Output Setting, after I can't edit the pitch.
If I can't edit the pitch, what is the purpose of this options ?

RE: [NX8] Pattern feature question
What this 'Output' option allows you to do is control whether an actual 'Pattern' feature is created or not, in addition to the features which are being patterned. So if you use the 'Copy Feature' option instead of 'Pattern Feature', ALL that you get are the copied features. This would be as if you had perfromed an individual 'Copy & Paste' for each new feature created. This means that there is NO positional relationship between the features, such as the 'Count' or the 'Pitch', which are NOT characteristics of the COPIED features, but ONLY of the PATTERN feature itself. In other words, if you use 'Copy Feature' there is NO new PATTERN feature which captures such parameters as the 'Cout' or the 'Pitch'. These are ONLY created if you use the 'Pattern Feature' option as the Output.
I hope that's clear.
