fuccaro Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I try to make a timing belt. It sounds easy, but the Curve Driven Pattern feature has its own mind. I have a Composite curve (the blue one) and a boss (green). The Curve driven pattern should multiply the boss along the curve. I clicked all the checkboxes, I tried all the combinations but this is the best I get. Can anybody help me please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhamze Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Without seeing your model I'm not sure why its not working. The part looks simply enough so I created a video showing how to use curve driven pattern. Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Many thanks for answering me. As you said, it is a simple task. I worked almost in the way presented in that video, except you used a sketch as pattern path. This morning I recreated the timing belt, and I got it well. As path I used again a Composite Curve created from the edges, exactly as previously,- except this time it worked well. I don't know what the problem was (other that I don't have enough experience with SW), but now I got it solved. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
