The previous hole instance is suppressed. It can be reclaimed using the
Pattern dialog box.
2 Use AMEDITFEAT to resize the independent pattern instance.
Browser Right-click the independent Hole4, and choose Edit.
The Hole dialog box is displayed.
3 In the Hole dialog box, change the diameter to .4, and choose OK.
4 Use
AMUPDATE to update the part, responding to the prompt.
Context Menu In the graphics area, right-click and choose Update Part.
The Hole3 is resized, while it maintains its position in the pattern.
You can create axial patterns, and you can create a pattern from another
pattern.
In the Browser, right-click A-PATTERN_1 and choose Activate Part. Right-
click A-PATTERN_1 again, and choose Zoom to. Turn off the visibility of
P-PATTERN_1.
A-PATTERN_1 contains a cylinder with a polar pattern of three holes. In this
exercise, you use this polar pattern to create an axial pattern, specifying a
work axis as the rotation center. You specify the number of instances, and
incremental column and row placement.
After you create the axial pattern, you use it to create another polar pattern.
In the Browser, expand A-PATTERN_1.
