Here's a head scratcher..
(OP)
I posted this file in another thread as an example of one way to create a hole array. But I went back and looked closer and something was off.
Expression p14=floor(p9/minimum_hole Space) returns a value of 12 but only creates 11 points.
If I change it to p14=floor(p9/minimum_hole Space)+1 it returns a value of 13 but only creates 12 points.
Now for the kicker. If I change it to p14=floor(p9/minimum_hole Space)+2 it returns a value of 14 but now it actually creates 14 points.
Deleting the formula and using discrete numbers (12,13,14 etc.)returns the proper number of points.
Any ideas before I give GTAC a call?
NX 7.5.3.3

There seems to be something wrong with the feature behaviour in NX7.5.
I have openend your part in NX8.5.2 and it shows 11 holes.
Now when I open the pointset it shows 12 points. if I close the menu without changing anything it will go back to the 11 holes on the pointset.
Now when I open the pointset again and change anything without touching the formula (I reselected the 100 percent for "end percentage"), it will generate 12 holes.
Like I said, it doesn't matter what I select in the menu, as long as I change anything it seems to be updating the result to the expected.

But in NX7.5, it doesn't work. Maybe you should contact GTAC.
Anyway, to get the proper number of holes in this model, you should use Instance Feature command. I have just done the test on NX7.5 and it works. I get 12 points and not 11.
