Update smart patterns

Start Pro

Updates the model by recalculating all linear patterns. After changing the geometry, use this button to keep your pattern driven objects up to date.

Having the pattern itself, or the part it belongs to selected, blocks updating the pattern, so deselect the items before using this tool.

Recognition of the name/text ‘HWDrill’ by the drill tool isn’t case sensitive.
The cutting shape should be an intellishape that adds material (though it creates cut outs), so use the positive basic shapes, not the Cut variants.
If the model should look neat, set the drill shape to Suppress.
After the Drill operation, the shapes are set back to their original suppress state.
The drilling operation will be slower if there is a mix of ACIS and Parasolid parts in a scene.
