Hello,
I am trying to place as many features (mold cavities, ~.25" is the max diameter of the cavity) into a 15" X 15" plate. The seed cavity is composed of 6 extruded cuts. I can easily populate the plate with cavities with the linear pattern repeat feature. However, in order to populate the plate with the most number of cavities, I need to nest the cavities (see attached).
Currently, I am have to make two seed cavities. Then, I perform two separate linear repeat functions. Building the second seed cavity is time consuming, and subject to errors. Is there a way to copy the first seed cavity to a specified location on the 15" X 15" plate?
Thanks
