Multiple copy of part on designated location.

francois_carletto

Hi expert team.
Creating a part,for example a table foot, i want to copy this part in 6 designated location (for 6 feet under the table). I created 6 point on a draft and want to copy the foot part to this 6 point. I can use the transform, coping with mate connector but that only create 1 copy of the part. I need so to redo this action for all the 6 feet.
Is there any way to do a kind of pattern with as option copy part in affected location (selecting the points of the sketch as designated location)?.
Thanks

Hi, there is a "Point Pattern" custom feature that will do this here https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9fca78cb66a0bc83e359eb3e/v/7b8e02af4e9b52af8d3ba60b/e/d7f44d3f530f6db8852edfeb

However if these are separate instances of the same part then it would be better practice to just model one and then instance them in an assembly.  This way your model understands you have 6 copies of the same part, as opposed to 6 different parts that just happen to have the same geometry.

Hope that helps,

The "New" "Add" "Remove" "Intersect" options should exist on that feature, at the top of the dialog, and do what you are asking.  Are they not working for you?

Thanks so sir for this specific feature that correspond to my need. I understand the interest for creating that in assembly but it stay very usefull.
The next step is to integer the merge option (add / new / remove) in it even if we can use Boolean operation to do it for yet.
