Replace Face feature ignored while doing Pattern Feature in NX8.5

[NXsupport]

Hi,

Does anyone encountered ,while using pattern feature,NX ignores replace face feature, if it is applied on the body which you want to pattern.

Is this a bug.. Wouldn't it be awesome , if you can just select the body and all the features including Replace face are patterned along with the body..

Remember, the name of the function is 'Pattern Feature' NOT 'Pattern Body'. With that in mind, try selecting BOTH the original body AND the 'Replace Face' feature when you're creating the 'Pattern Feature' feature.

Patterning a 'Body' is supported in NX 9.0.
