Creating Patterns with the TriBall |
|
|
|
The TriBall can also implement linear, rectangular, and radial pattern creation using IntelliShapes, parts , or assemblies as master shapes. Pattern shapes are fully parametric for efficient and precise definition.
It is important to note that:
-
Reference and constrained dimensions can be placed on pattern skeletons.
-
Pattern shapes cannot be created from pattern shapes.
-
IntelliShapes cannot contain multiple master patterns.
-
Both master shapes and instances can be suppressed.
-
Master shapes can be removed from a pattern shape.
-
The same limitations that apply to linking shapes apply to pattern shapes.
-
Patterns included in an assembly can only be repositioned within that assembly (its parent) hierarchy.
Note: The TriBall pattern is a grouping of link shapes. To create a pattern feature where there is a parent feature and child features that can refer to objects and can support pattern-of-pattern, refer to the Pattern Feature command. Since the TriBall is a grouping of links, this type of pattern is not supported on Structured Part features.
