Design Table Question

Design Table Question

Design Table Question

(OP)
I have a profile that is in the form of a half circle. I have anywhere from 5-10 cylinders that form a pattern that follows that line. It is pretty time consuming in creating this part. Would it be possible to use a design table to create this part? If it is possible, can this design table be modified to create different configurations of this part?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

RE: Design Table Question

In some cases, once a pattern is created, a DT can be used to control the number of instances ... depends on your situation.

RE: Design Table Question

With a DT open, try double clicking the pattern feature in the FM, and look closely around the second instance in the pattern (in the graphics area) for the quantity. You might be able to double click it to populate the DT.
