I have read many helpful posts on this subject so this is anobservation as well as a question. Thanks for the help past and inthe future.
I have just worked with my first hole series consisting of a platewith a tapped hole and a counter bore that holds a roller. Theseare all patterend with a derived pattern and work nicely whenchanging # of instances. The smart fasteners pattern
as well. The only glitch is when I change the tapped hole size onthe plate. The hole sizes will not update automatically even thoughauto size is selected. The fasteners and clearance hole in rollerwill update if I click on the tabs and "refresh" each setting alongwith unchecking and rechecking add fasteners box. Updating thepattern of the smart fasteners does require reselecting theoriginal. This is not a bad work around that I could live withconsidering the amount of time saved if doing manually, but I waswondering if theres a little step I am missing.
