"From Pattern Feature" for fully constrained components
"From Pattern Feature" for fully constrained components
(OP)
Hello,
Is it possible to use "from pattern feature" option for fully constrained components to create an component array?
I'm able to array the components by giving two constraints align and touch w.r.t the referencing Pattern feature but I want to freeze the orientation also.

However, starting with NX 9.0 we added a new Assembly constraint type called 'Align/Lock'. It sort of acts like the 'Concentric' constraint except that once applied, there are no degrees-of-freedom. It was designed specifically for constraining cylindrical Component as it only needs a single constraint to fully lock-down parts that often get left with the ability to rotate when in the real-world we know that wouldn't happen, like with fasteners like bolts and pins.

Sorry for the delayed response...
Why "From Pattern Feature" will not work, when the Components are constrained to Patterned "CSYS".

And if I do so, I'll not have the link between n.oof Holes in Cylinder and no.of rods in assembly.
