Multiple shape translation following different points in sketch
Multiple shape translation following different points in sketch
(OP)
Hello,
it's the first time I come in this interesting formum.
My question is :
I have created a shape in modeling. I want to multiply it in different positions. These positions are defined by different points in a specific sketch.
Do you know how to do ?
Thanks for your answer. Good bye !!!

I'm working with : NX 7.5.3.3
Fortunately, after multiple research, I've found an answer to my question. The process is :
Instance geometry
Select the type "From/To"
Select the geometry to instance
Select the "from location" point
Select the "To location" point
If multiple instance needed :
- clic a second time on "specify point" of the "To locations" line
- repeat this action as much as needed
This first solution is working but I have to select each point which is long and the risk is to forget one point.
Today, I'm going to try the other solution :
Instance geometry
Select the type "along path"
If somebody know a tutorial, I'm very interested in.
Good bye.

-It is that simple

Thanks for your help. Problem resolved !
For information, after checking, the process "Instance geometry --> along path" is not what I wanted but I will keep it mind for futur applications.
Good by from France and many thanks !!
