how to delete an existing pattern in sketch in nx 7.5 1

[helperug]

I'm looking for a solution how to delete an existing pattern in nx 7.5 sketch.
I have pattern a rather complex sketch, the instance are connected to the orginal, I don't want to lose.
I can active the pattern, but I cannot delete it like a feature, what is the workflow to do this?

sorry new in NX

Hi,

The pattern feature doesn't appear but you just have to delete the Pattern Constraint, then you can delete or not the remain cruves. Have a look at the attached jpeg file

I hope this help

thanks didier on reply,
yes and no, on none complex sketches it will work...
I my situation the patterned curves interfer, and after deleting the pattern constraint the lines still exit as orphans,
I'd like to delete the pattern like feature. ...Even changing from circular to linear is not supported.

Hi,

In NX 8.5 by Just double click on the constraint symbol you can change the Pattern type.
I am not sure about NX 7.5.

Thanks,

Hi,

@Erwin: You must ask for an Enhancement Request

@Mathi: I confirm that editing pattern work also in NX7.5

Rather than deleting the Pattern constraint right off, first edit it, reducing the number of instances to two (2) (you can't set it to 1 or 0) and then delete the Pattern constraint. Granted, you will still need to delete the last set of curves but at least it will have reduced the number of curves that have to be removed manually.
