    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...

    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...
