Break up patterned holes

Break up patterned holes

Break up patterned holes

(OP)
I have a pattern of 24 holes in a circular pattern. There are 6 holes in the pattern that I would like to change to tapped holes due to a design change. Is there a way to explode the pattern into 24 seperate holes so I can change the 6 that I want as tapped holes?

RE: Break up patterned holes

Ken,

There is a rule in your holes pattern? I mean the 6 tapped holes have been chosen arbitrary or the last hole of a series of 4 holes is a tapped hole? See pattern below where "o" are tapped holes.

You can do it in two ways:

A. By relations (You'll need two sets of pattern). This method is useful when you respect a rule (see my example above).

B. Change your pattern hole into a table pattern and skip the tapped holes. Then create a new series of pattern for tapped holes. You can use this method when no rule is respected.


-Hora.
