Specifying Find Parameters for Linear Patterns

The Find: Linear Pattern Parameters dialog box lets you specify Find parameters for a linear pattern. The following parameters are available:

  Instance count Set a value for the number of instances in the linear pattern.

Toggle to change the comparison symbols >, <, and =.

  Spacing Set a value for the distance between pattern instances.

Toggle to change the comparison symbols, if necessary.

  Seed type Select a seed type.
  Seed count Set a value for the number of pattern seed features.

Toggle to change the comparison symbols, if necessary.

  Other direction Select this when you have a bi-directional linear pattern. You must then specify the parameters for Instance count and Spacing. If you select Other direction, the Find utility searches all combinations of Direction 1 and Direction 2 of a linear pattern to determine if both parameters for Instance count and Spacing are met.

Toggle to change the comparison symbols, if necessary.

  Pattern seed only Select Any, Off, or On to find patterns with only the seed feature patterned in Direction2.
  Geometry pattern Select On to find linear patterns created with a geometry pattern. Select Any to find linear patterns regardless if they were created with a geometry pattern. Select Off to find linear patterns created without a geometry pattern.
