Rectangular patterns lose the X and Y directions when migrated thru CMM.

Rectangular patterns lose the X and Y directions when migrated thru CMM. Problem: Rectangular patterns lose the X and Y directions when migrated thru CMM.

Description.

The sample part/dwg are migrated to NX datasets thru CMM. The NX part will received fidelity errors in the CMM report. When you open the model in NX you will notice some of the pattern features will have one or more of its directions wrong. The pattern will be rotated so the holes are not in the correct location or off the part completely so the holes are not cut into the base part with the Subtract feature that follows. Not all patterns will be incorrect. I would like to know why the pattern is rotated and find a solution so many of our parts do not have to be fixed after the part is translated thru CMM. We used a large number of patterns in our I-deas parts, and many are translating in-correctly like this.

Reference part number 1234-172. Linear pattern 14 (ideas feature Pattern 9) is rotated incorrectly in 2 axis.

Reference part number 1266-685. Pattern feature 58 (ideas feature Pattern 9) is rotated incorrectly in 1 axis.

Reference part number 1266-685. Pattern feature 139 (ideas feature Pattern 55) is rotated incorrectly in 1 axis.

We investigated this PR. The solution to this PR would invite major and risky changes in current feature migration code. Trying to solve this issue may cause other part of the system becoming unstable.Based on migration results we analyzed in similar areas, our assessment is that the problem of this PR should not appear frequently in customer parts. failures due to this issue.We would bookmark this issue in our issues list and whenever a fix is devised we would let you know.
