Task 8. Pattern the hex bolt.

     

    Like the washer, the hex bolt needs to be placed in all 4 hole locations on the transmission cover.  This can be done by patterning the bolt.

  1. Left click HEX_BOLT part from the model tree as shown in the figure below. The hex_bolt should highlight in red in the graphics window.

     

  2. Press and hold Right click and select Pattern from the pull down menus.

  3. The Pattern dashboard default pattern type is Reference which references the pattern of the holes on the transmission_case.  Notice that black dots have been created where the bolt will be patterned.

  4. Select Complete Feature  from the dashboard to accept the default pattern.  Notice that four bolts now exist in the assembly as shown below.

  5. Click Save  from the main toolbar.
