Create the same hole and shape on one side with a fill array

This section explains how to create features such as holes or blocks placed on a part surface, replicated at specified intervals across Use the [Pattern Feature] option under:

[Feature] tab → [Transform] group → [Pattern Feature] command. Select [Fill Pattern] from the pattern types.

  

This function allows you to create an array of shapes on the surface of a part with a specified spacing.

Example:
(illustration or description assumed here)

Procedure:

[1] Select Intellishape. (hole, Cylinder etc)

[2] Click [Pattern Feature].

[3] In the [Properties] select [Fill pattern], then click surface for [Filling Boundary].

[5] Select edge in the model for [Axis1] and enter [Offset 1].

[6] Pattern shapes are created.

 The fill area is limited to the surface where the hole or block feature is placed.

For non-rectangular polygons such as pentagons or hexagons, the pattern is aligned and filled according to the specified edge.

The number of filled features is automatically calculated based on the size of the hole or block, and cannot be manually specified.
