Hi,

going to create a custom series with inclined offset does not reproduce the series.

Is there a repetition limit for a series? (in spaceclaim it is not indicated).

 

This happens even if the piece is not in sheet metal

Thank you

I don't know if there is a set limit to the number of pattern members that can be created, but these kinds of operations do increase the complexity of the model very quickly.  With the number of holes you made in that plate, I'm not surprised that it didn't fill the entire thing.

How does it behave if you first make the plate the full size and start with 1 hole for the fill pattern?

Brian Bueno Hi Brian, with the customer I solved I do it another way , thanks anyway for the help

Brian Bueno Hi Brian, they always behave in the same way, the series is not created in the whole plate.

In the video I sent you, I first created a series of holes in a small plate so as to use the light series command otherwise it takes too long to load.

If instead I create a series with the default offset command, the series creates it in the whole plate

In my opinion, in spacecliam we should add as an improvement that when you go to create a series of elements there is a maximum limit described before the creation, this because without a limit it is not known if spacecliam can do it (as during the wait it often comes out) written that does not respond) or crashes.

I can submit an enhancement request for this.

Brian Bueno Hi Brian 

 

ok send the improvement request thank you

Brian Bueno Hi Brian, if it is possible to do that when you create a light series you see when you put on the drafting, or if you save in dxf

Hello Roberto

Brian is currently unavailable and I will be looking into your query.

I'm sorry but I'm unable to understand your last comment. Could you please elaborate?

Hi, I am attaching a video, when I go to put my file on the table the light series is not seen, only the first hole is seen while the others are not.

Is there a way to view them while remaining with the light series option active?

Hello Roberto

As you can see in the snippet of the help document below, once set to Lightweight, Discovery SpaceClaim drives all changes to the pattern from the initial design member. 

 

This is why you are unable to select the pattern members individually. 

Although, the changes you make to the pattern leader will be applied to all the pattern members.  Please refer the attached video to get a quick demonstration of this.

I hope I have addressed all your issues on this.

Subashni Hi, it's okay, I understand.
Therefore it is not possible to put the file in a Drafting and display all the other holes , to do this I have to deactivate the lightweight patterns.

I don't know if you saw the first video I attached to Brian where he doesn't create the series for me in the whole plate, Brian told me that he will try to ask for a enhancemen.

Thank you
