Linked Patterns
When the feature type is a linked pattern, the selection list contains
the SolidWorks features used in its definition. |

|
The example shows a DimXpert pattern of eight holes that are linked
to the two listed SolidWorks features, each having four holes.
Removing one of the two SolidWorks features would reduce the pattern
count to four holes. |

Manual Patterns
When the feature is a manual pattern, the selection list contains each
DimXpert feature. |

The example shows a DimXpert pattern of two counterbore holes. You can
add or remove features from the list by selecting them.
When adding features, the selections are filtered to allow only those
matching the type and size of the existing features.

features on the right hand side of the part in a single selection. |

feature.
