Updated custom feature: Fill pattern

NeilCookeNeilCooke Moderator, Onshape Employees Posts: 5,714
By popular request, I have reworked Fill pattern to allow closer packing of instances and borders, plus better performance and error handling.

Caution:
When updating existing models to this latest version, the improved border detection will modify the number of instances. Either increase the value of "border" until the number of instances match, or better still, don't update the feature. You can always use the Compare tool to check for differences.

    Does one have access to the # of instances created to assign to a variable or otherwise use in a calculation for total hole cross-sectional area?
