I have a linear slot feature that I want to pattern around a hole and maintain the orientation of patterned feature.
Here is what OS allows me to do....
But what this is what I desire...
I do not see an option within Circular Pattern feature control panel to effect it.

Now if I could only suppress individual occurrences of the pattern I would be one happy clam.
Thanks!

Yes, I could have used it by...
- Creating the slot feature as a cutting tool part volume
- Creating a circular pattern of 8 points
- Use "Point Pattern" selecting just the desired points (locations)
- Use Boolean "Subtract" to create the slot features in the target part
but this a lot more work than just "suppressing" specific instances of a patterned entity (part, feature, surface, etc) within a "Circular Pattern" feature. Instance suppression within a pattern is something I have seen/used in other CAD products.Thanks for making me aware of this Feature Script.

(Use "Create selection" w/"Tangent Connected" to speed the face section process for the slots to be removed.)
