Can't select a circle to use in a circular pattern

john_lombardo

I have a part that is a circle extruded into a cylinder. The part has a small hole that was remove-extruded to create. I choose the circular pattern tool, but it won't allow me to select the small hole  (or its remove-extrusion) to pattern. Very frustrating! What am I doing wrong?

You need to choose to pattern either the extrude feature, or the face of the extrude cut. For better performance, use the face pattern option. 

Use the drop down and select "Face pattern"
Select the face of the extrude cut in the part.
Select the axis to pattern around.

Tell us how you made out!

aarghhh! When I try to select the hole extrusion, It only selects "Face of WholeDisk"

OK, Got it. When I put the part in isometric view, I could select the extrusion. Thank you very much.

Hello, I have troubles using circular pattern (Polygon script, lines 105-112)
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/63ac63e22b67bfd0a5feb626/w/08d5364eed7c679bfee20064/e/b16b07354514ebb5092fcd5b

Feature creates bodies "Part 3" to "Part 7", but does not circle them along 96: skCircle(skits3, "ring1", ...
I created two variables for transforming - 102-103: trass and trajektoor, but unsuccessfully
I tried also use of 116: opTransform, but I'm not very familiar with Featurescript objects.

Correct version of "handmade" sample polygon appears on Polygon design sheet. 

EDIT: the solution:

        curvePattern(context, id + "curvePattern1", {

                "patternType" : PatternType.PART,

                "entities" : qCreatedBy(id + "loft2", EntityType.BODY),

                "edges" : trass,

                "instanceCount" : definition.NurkadeArv   });
