Nested patterns - edit option
At a nested pattern it is sometimes useful to make changes to part information, for example, at the Information boxes. At a Nested pattern:-
Double
click on the pattern to move to the Pattern Editor
● At the Pattern editor click on any part to view the part properties.
● Click on any other part to see the details for that part
Click on the Toolbar icon (Properties) to hide the properties box
Information boxes
If information boxes are in use the contents can be edited from this dialog.
● Click on the box to edit the contents
● Select OK to confirm changes.
Notes
- Only for Nested drawings and Nesting previews based on the Machining library pattern format
- Not available for patterns based on the MPR(X) pattern format
- If changes are pending it is not possible to move off the current part and select other parts
- The part properties are also available (at the pattern editor) from:-
Select the Part properties button on the right hand side toolbar
Select Part properties on the Edit menu
- In some cases a change to information boxes (e.g. global step angle) can affect the validity of the current pattern. If so the changes should alternatively be made at the part list and the patterns regenerated.
