NX 9.0 Pattern Geometry Functionality

NX 9.0 Pattern Geometry Functionality

NX 9.0 Pattern Geometry Functionality

(OP)
Is there a way in Pattern Geometry to select multiple target points without having to create a sketch? In the previous version using Instance Geometry, you could select target points anywhere you liked without the need for creating a planar sketch and placing points. Please tell me this feature hasn't been broken.

RE: NX 9.0 Pattern Geometry Functionality

I have NO problems whatsoever selecting multiple 'To' points (either one-at-a-time or by area select), which were NOT part of a sketch, when using 'Pattern Geometry' and the Layout method 'General'.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

RE: NX 9.0 Pattern Geometry Functionality

I've isolated it to not being able to pick points from "Entire Assembly" which is what I used to be able to do. Now, for picking multiple points, the targets have to be in the part you're performing the command in.

RE: NX 9.0 Pattern Geometry Functionality

Tech support was able to re-create the issue and have created a ticket as it's not functionaing as designed.
