Re: Local Pattern Failure with Sketch driving
Jeremy Feist Jan 12, 2017 10:52 AM (in response to Brian Smith)if the issue was with the sketch, the warning would be on the sketch, not the pattern (sketch driven patterns do not "absorb" the sketch used).
try right clicking on the pattern feature and selecting "what's wrong" and see what SW tells you.
otherwise you will need to post files for someone here to diagnose the issue.

Re: Local Pattern Failure with Sketch driving
Brian Smith Jan 12, 2017 11:18 AM (in response to Jeremy Feist)I do not get the "What's Wrong" in the right click menu anymore. This went away last week when the company upgraded to 2016....finally. Do you know hot to get that back?
I would love to share the file, but due to us being defense contractors it is not allowed.

Re: Local Pattern Failure with Sketch driving
Brian Smith Jan 12, 2017 11:18 AM (in response to Jeremy Feist)Ok. I do get the "What's Wrong" if I right select on the top level component in the tree. It says "One or more of the pattern instances overlaps another component instance or the seed component."
I know that it is overlapping the seed component....do you manually have to "skip" that instance? It seems that earlier versions did not do this. There is nothing in the pattern menu that allows the user to "skip" the seed part automatically.....unless I am missing something.

Re: Local Pattern Failure with Sketch driving
Brian Smith Jan 12, 2017 11:22 AM (in response to Brian Smith)Ok, Problem resolved. I had a instance point in the sketch replicating the same part. It sees this as a double on top of each other and throws the flag. Removed the extra sketch point and problem solved.

Re: Local Pattern Failure with Sketch driving
Chris Weaver Jan 20, 2017 11:56 AM (in response to Brian Smith)I've had this issue on SW2016 too. My workaround has been to create a sketch containing the center point that I want to be the pattern center then a separate sketch that is the actual pattern.
