Hello
I use a sketch repeat to repeat a threaded rod welded into a plate, from the sketch of the holes.
Everything works, but the repetition gives birth to the second threaded rod and its original. So I end up with 3 bodies instead of 2.
--> how can we prevent the repetition of the original body?
When you make a repetition by sketch, it gives you an occurrence at each point in the form of (*), so either you constrain the 1st occurrence, the one that drives the repetition without putting a dot (*) on it, by putting a line for example to be able to select the end of this line as a starting point. Either in the function you select the duplicate part in occurrence to omit. Personally I prefer the 1st method.
Thank you sbasdenis,
I can't implement any of your 2 solutions:
- I don't see how to build a "clearance" sketch other than with dots: I didn't manage to do with "line ends"
- The (perfect) option to omit occurrences is not available in my repetition function.
You can construct a construction line and you constrain the origin or other point of your part on the end of the construction line without putting a point see attached image and in the options see last selected image "selected point" instead of "center of the visualization cube"
And to omit an entity:
OK
But how do you indicate the location of your piercings without points?
And I don't have the accessible field to select occurrences to omit.
I just changed my answer above. and change the image.
I'm not in an assembly, but in a mechanically welded one.
I want to repeat threaded rods that are welded to the plate. The holes for the rods are obtained (for the moment) through the drilling wizard.
The alternative is to make 1 sketch for each rod, but it's less "sexy"
At this point, you have to use the sketch of the wizard for the drilling and deactivate the first instance of the repeat.
Stefbeno,
I do use the sketch of the holes, and in the sketch-by-sketch repetition function, I don't have the ability to omit occurrences like you can do in an assembly.
To keep my holes, my first sweep (original threaded rod) and the repetition, I was forced to delete a body in the folder of the volume bodies.
The question is passed on to Visiativ, we will quickly know how to carry out this kind of design.
It's true that we can wonder why there is no repetition driven by a function in part mode.
Another solution then in your mechanically welded you put your 1st threaded rod in transparency and then you put the one that is repeated on top of your 1st occurrence in the deleted state, not very glorious but functional.
Hello
Visiativ confirmed the "failure" of this function in this context: it is impossible to omit occurrences on a Part in repetition by sketch, and thus the creation of a supernumerary body.
The proposed bypass, less efficient, is a stupid linear repetition on 2 directions, which requires knowing the decomposition of the centers.
In my case, there is only one center distance (2 occurrences of drillings) but on more complex holes, it is certainly not tenable.
