Adding a Component Pattern

You can create a pattern of components in the assembly in one of the following ways:

  • You can create a local linear or circular pattern of components.

  • You can place a pattern of components in an assembly based on a feature pattern of an existing component. This is called a derived component pattern.

  • You can place a pattern of components in an assembly based on a feature pattern of assembly features.

To toggle the visibility or suppression state of all of the components in the pattern, right-click the pattern feature in the FeatureManager design tree, and select Hide components, Show components, Suppress, Unsuppress, or Isolate Components.

You can dissolve a component pattern to make its components independent. One benefit is that you can individually move and rotate components that were in the pattern. One drawback is that you cannot hide and suppress all the components in the pattern because the pattern feature is gone.
