Making a pattern of a pattern in assembly

Hi!

Here's the situation, with ST2 trad, I made a pattern of bolt with nut for a caster so I have the caster and four nuts and four bolts, then I created another pattern for the caster with the bolt pattern. So now I have four casters and sixteen bolts and nuts.

Everything works like a charm the first time. But when I apply changes to the model (The caster change position) then the pattern of the bolt pattern doesn't follow. To update I have to remove the bolt pattern from the selection click finish and then go back in the pattern feature and reselect the pattern. That way the parts go where they are supposed to.

It ain't the biggest problems I had with Solid Edge but it's kind of an annoying little bug. So I wanted to check if I'm the only one having this problem and if there's a fix for that.

Thanks in advance.

Patrick

Make sure absolutely everything is activated. That might help.
 
Had similar problems in ST1 and I think I posted about it but can't find the post on here.
The pattern would not update correctly unless you redefined it.
