Multiple Values in Patterns

[MCGNX]

As a former I-Deas house, one of the most missed features is the ability to input multiple values into a pattern. Now we have learned to live with it so to speak, to use clock or other techniques which do not work as well.

But now the problem is when migrating I-Deas data into NX (NX5 BTW) all of the patterns that had multiple values will fail as an unsupported feature in NX and be created as BREPs.

Now I only hope there are plans for this to be incorporated into NX as it is a very useful feature AND it will increase the I-Deas to NX feature migration success rate.

Any thoughts on this? Am I alone in wanting this feature in future versions of NX?

We have a function in NX called a 'Feature Array', unfortunately it's in need of some serious work to bring it up to snuff and I suspect that until that is done, it would have been a waste of time on our part to even attempt to convert I-Deas 'patterns' into NX 'feature arrays'.
