formulas and patterns

[[Mi...]]

Is it possible to drive a formula calculation off of just one element of a pattern? Like if I need to get the x-position of the second hole in a bolt circle.

The formula window doesn't look like it even acknowledges the existence of the pattern, and behaves like it's just referencing the first element.

I would think you can because the Additional Report in Calypso gives the individual support data for each position of the pattern. How to pull just a single axis for a single feature from the position I am not sure about. If you want the support data for every hole in the pattern go to Resources/Characteristic Setting Editor/Additional Report and in the set to drop down turn it on for the position or the entire measurement plan to see the support data.

I have tried unsuccessfully to do this too. The only way I was able to access the results of patterned features with formula was to recreate an individual feature for each of the pattern features with recall feature points. Definitely not an elegant solution.

getActual("FeatureName",2).x
