patterning teeth

Hi All,


I am having trouble with patterning some teeth ona model I am working on. I am trying to get the teeth to follow a curve that is made up of 4 different segments of different size radii. I am able to do kind of cheat, and do 4 differnt groups & tweak the spoacing so that it looks really close, but I would like to have just one group. When I try some of the methods in the ptc tutorial & help sections, I cant make enough sense out of how to apply to my model. Would anyone be interested in looking at my model? I am working in 2001 right now. By the way, when I select the curve, I have tried selecting the entire curve.


Thanks,


Tim
 
i will have to have a look @ it to be able to comment :)

99% of patterening on a curve is done with datum points and then having the features modelled referencing the datum points.

then patterening it .





hope this helps.
