Description
The PartDesign MultiTransform tool creates a pattern of one or more features. The pattern can include multiple transformations. Each subsequent transformation is applied to the result of the previous transformation.
The available transformations are: Mirrored, Linear Pattern, Polar Pattern and Scaled. The first three are also available as separate tools.
A pattern of holes created from a single Hole feature by applying a LinearPattern with 2 occurences, followed by a PolarPattern with 8 occurrences.
Usage
Create
- Optionally activate the correct Body.
- Optionally select one or more features in the Tree view or the 3D view.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the MultiTransform button.
- Select the Part Design → Apply a pattern → MultiTransform option from the menu.
- If there is no active Body, and there are two or more Bodies in the document, the Active Body Required dialog will open and prompt you to activate one. If there is a single Body it will be activated automatically.
- If no features were selected the Select feature task panel opens: select one or more (hold down the Ctrl key) from the list and press the OK button.
- The MultiTransform parameters task panel opens. See Options for more information.
- Press the OK button at the top to finish.
Edit
- Do one of the following:
- The MultiTransform parameters task panel opens. See Options for more information.
- Press the OK button at the top to finish.
Combine existing transformations
It is possible to create a MultiTransform object from existing Mirrored, LinearPattern and PolarPattern transformations.
- Check the DataOriginals property of the existing transformations to make sure they have been applied to the same features.
- Select those features in the Tree view.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the MultiTransform button.
- Select the Part Design → Apply a pattern → MultiTransform option from the menu.
- The MultiTransform parameters task panel opens.
- Press the OK button at the top.
- Edit the DataTranformations property of the create MultiTransform object:
- Click in the field.
- Press the ... button that appears.
- The Link dialog opens.
- Hold down the Ctrl key and select the existing transformations.
- Press the OK button.
- Optionally edit the MultiTransform object, see above.
Options
- To add features:
- To remove features:
- If there are several features in the pattern, their order can be important. See PartDesign PolarPattern.
- To add transformations:
- Right-click the Transformations list.
- Select one the available options from the context menu:
- Add mirrored transformation. See PartDesign Mirrored.
- Add linear pattern. See PartDesign LinearPattern.
- Add polar pattern See PartDesign PolarPattern.
- Add scaled transformation. See PartDesign Scaled.
- The selected transformation is added to the list and the settings for the transformation are displayed below the list.
- Adjust the settings to suit.
- Press the OK bar at the bottom.
- Repeat to add more transformations.
- To edit a transformation:
- Right-click the transformation in the Transformations list.
- Select Edit from the context menu.
- Adjust the settings to suit.
- Press the OK bar at the bottom.
- To change the order of the transformations:
- Right-click a transformation in the Transformations list.
- Select Move up or Move down from the context menu.
