I have POINT PATTERN 13 placed along the curve created in SKETCH 5
I then created AXIS A-3 through the point pattern lead and normal to the surface that the point is on.
I then try to create a reference pattern with Axis A-3 as the pattern lead. The pattern fails.
Upon further investigation I find that I cannot place other NORMAL axis through the other points along that curve. I tried this as a workaround.
I haven't found any other workarounds to get me an axis through each of those points that is normal to the surface.
The surface which the axis should be normal to is a boundary blend created by two different size ellipses whose X-Y axes are aligned... this form an elliptical cone.
Why is this failing? I have created many other normal axis the same exact way on other areas of this same exact model. I have also tried changing the accuracy to ABSOLUTE.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
