I do a regular job for a customer where I have set up astandard assembly model and this can be configured to generatebespoke parts on a job by job basis - fairly standard stuff.
On of the aspects of this is a curved component that I have set upwith a circular pattern around an axis. Think of it is bolts goinginto holes on a curved roof, and the bolts are on a pattern - thatis the closest analogy I can think of.
Thing is, the "bolts" always need to start from the centre of thecurved part, so my circular pattern has to be done twice - one oneway, and one in the opposite direction.
So the enhancement is simple - allow circular patterns around anaxis to go in two directions......would this save anyone else a lotof time?
I can kind of understand how it migth be hard to implement as itis, but if we were to select a direction for the first pattern onthe axes, and then select clockwise or anti clockwise this wouldwork I think.SolidworksParts And Features
