Instance features with variable parameters
Instance features with variable parameters
(OP)
Is there a way to pattern/instance a feature in a way that I can adjust ONLY the parameters of the instanced features? For example, I pattern a hole linearly. They are spaced evenly apart, but I want to change the hole size of only one hole, and not the hole that was used to create the pattern. This would help with some more complex geometry that I am working on to prevent having to create a new set of features for each similar feature.
Thank you
Thank you

Insert -> Syncronoous modeling -> resize face
and select the hole that you want to change
Is this what you are looking for?
Don't forget to mention what version of NX you are on.

I realize that is a way I can do it, but there are some things that synchronous modeling will not allow control over in the way I would like it handled. I am guessing it is not possible.
To describe it a little more, imagine if I defined an expression for an angle of a corner, I instance the feature that the corner resides in, and in only one or more instanced features I want to individually change that angle dimension without affecting the parent feature.
