Linear Feature Pattern - Chamfer?

[tikka308]

I am making a fixture in Alibre which has 32 squares which each need the edges chamfered. That's 32*4 = 128 edges. I chamfered one square and tried to use the linear feature pattern tool (convenient, as the squares are in a pattern) but it's giving me the red "x" on the feature pattern in the design explorer.

Does this mean I cannot linear pattern a chamfer? If so, any suggestions on how to do this? E.g. is there a way to tell Alibre to auto-select all edges in the design that are a specific length?

You can select each plane instead of each edge. That means you only have to click 32 times instead of 128.

If you want to pattern a chamfer, what you'll probable need to do is make a single square, chamfer that, and then pattern both the square and the chamfer.

Frederic - Thanks - that does help. I'm still surprised there isn't a way to "bulk" select...
