Anyone recommended how to achieve different configurations of a Part or Asm in a linear array

jonathan_stedman

I will need to pattern a component.  However, the component will have a variety of configurations ( number of holes and suchlike) What is the recommended technique to achieve this because I cannot seem to see how to change the individual parts configurations if they are part of a pattern.  They all take their configuration from the seed part.

I'm not sure if there is a better way but I use control C and control V for this. It is a bit of a pain because you need to mate everything then.

Would you like to share more about your anger and where it stems from?

sorry 'started in anger' is just a turn of phrase - meaning I'm now using OS as a proper tool, not just testing or evaluating.

Haha.  Mates made me angry in the beginning but now I find them a godsend.

I think in this situation it is easier to make the configuration in a partstudio and use transform, derive, suppres- unsuppres etc to make all your configurations.
And then insert the partstudio in your Assembly
