Reuse Pattern - Change orientation of selected instance 1

[Vikey.]

Hi All,

Greetings!

Is there any way to modify the orientation of selected instance in assembly which are created using he reuse pattern option in Catia V5?
Example: In the picture, center of the instance and Z height will be same for all instances but need flexibility in orientation angle.


Picture for reference and sample CAD assembly attached.

Thanks in advance!

Regards
Vikey.

Hi Ferdo,

The link points to a playlist with 41 videos, can you please point to the video which has inputs to the solution you propose?

Thanks and regards
Vikey.

Which link? In my signature? None of them is showing what you want, this is a specific requirement which someone needs to work for it.
Is just a suggestion which you may want or not to follow, create a macro and use it.

A bit more thinking and issue resolved.... without Macro!!!

Revisiting Catia after a gap of 15 years... took a while to recollect....

Attached the solved assembly for reference just in case ....

Thank You!!!

Very well, nice, is it applicable if you will put your fasteners on complex surfaces (not plane)?

@ferdo

I am new to posting in forum... apologies for the misunderstanding!

Didn't notice that its your signature... anyways, thanks for the suggestion!

Have a nice day!

@Vikey

So what is your solution, without a macro? The only way I can think of is to constrain each instance.

 

[Vikey.]

@jackk,

You have to only constrain the first instance with the first base feature (in this case Pad 1)


then use reuse pattern, check the assembly I have uploaded....

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing that Vikey. You can learn something new everyday!
