Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a pattern like the on in this picture file...
Any hints as to how i should proceed with this?
I tried patterning this using axis pattern ...but i'm not sure how to vary the height of the slots.

Thanks

well i managed to be able to vary the hight of the slot but it's not liek the one in the picture....

mine was row 1 all length = 1"
row 2 all length = 1.5"
row 3 all length = 2"

how can i make the length gradually change its heightand reduce its height as it approach the side wall? will i need a graph??

thanks for the help.

Alvin,

I took a crack at it- needed to create a copy of your lower curve as an "approximate" curve so that it the entire curve could be selected for the lower part of the slot to follow.The approximate copy converts it to a continuous spline.

I did a dimension pattern so that the webs that are left are the same size.
I found that if you used points patterned along the curve then the webs ended up different widths, particularly noticeable at the ends.

take a look

Did you try pattern by table? It can be very confusing to use because the columns

don't line up, but it is very robust and powerfull.

alvin164,

can you post a pic...?

By the way did you receive the file sent to you on patterning along a curve...?

OK... Try this.... This is not exactly the same... but will give you a direction.

By the way...are you working on a research project on Patterning..?

That's very nice, Srini.
A suggestion: The posted jpg is a little fuzzy. Maybe a zipped bmp would be sharper? (If anyone else thinks it'll help. I think I can make out things well enough...)
A question: Is Pattern 1 datum planes used to define pts on curve and Pattern 3 a Reference Pattern, too?
