    How to make a pattern pitch grow

    Problem solved... I was over thinking this. All I needed was for the pitch to be (i.e.) 1"x% of the original static pitch. This will make each row grow from center as desired.

    How to make a pattern pitch grow

    @navin99669 Thanks, but this is a boundary fill pattern. With a boundary fill, I can pick "triangle" layout, which works really nice for a static pitch. You don't get the option to increment spacing as you do with a standard linear pattern (that you have shown). See the attachment for my dialog...

    How to make a pattern pitch grow

    Pattern increment is to modify the feature, not the pattern. So I could make each hole bigger than the last, but this doesn't do anything for incrementing the pitch.

    How to make a pattern pitch grow

    I'm guessing this isn't going to be possible... I'm using a triangle pattern within a boundary, and I need for the pitch to increase with each instance. So the pitch needs to grow from the center of the pattern outwards. I work with rubber molds, and the reason for this is to accommodate...

    Feature pattern with boundary count

    Nice idea. Thanks John!

    Feature pattern with boundary count

    I'm on NX 8.5. Thanks for the response. I can do it that way, there are just a lot of other features that may be in the way, it also won't always be a simple hole. I had hoped that the count value was stored somewhere. Thanks anyway though!

    Feature pattern with boundary count

    I am using the pattern feature command, with a triangle pattern inside of a boundary. What I'm looking for is a way to capture the total "count" that was created. It may have 100+ holes in the pattern, and I would like a way to verify how many the pattern feature created without having to count...
