HD60957: PART : USER PATTERN DOES NOT WORK ON NEGATIVE POINTED BODY

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• PART : USER PATTERN DOES NOT WORK ON
  NEGATIVE POINTED BODY
  .
  1) Open the associated data and check that the
  user pattern.1 is pointing, as object to pattern :
  Body.2.
  You can see that the display is not
  correct since the hole.1 is displayed only on his
  origin. The patterns are not visible.It should
  be visible on any point pointed in the Pattern.

  MODIFICATION:

  Patterning Bodies
  The application patterns the body's geometry
  without taking into account the body's polarity.
  However, if then you
  insert the pattern obtained in another body, then
  the application
  takes the polarity of this body into account. This
  explains why patterned bodies are not visible if
  they are inserted in negative bodies.
  .
  In the following example, the user pattern points to
  Body.2 included in Body.3 which is a positive body.
  In this case, the pattern is visible in the geometry
  area because the pattern's result is added to
  existing geometry.
  .
  If Body.3 is changed into a negative body (the Add
  feature was changed into a Remove feature), then
  the user pattern is no longer visible because the
  pattern's result is subtracted from existing
  geometry.
