Curve and Sketch Driven Patterns

You can define curve driven and sketch driven patterns for assemblies.

Curve driven patterns can contain tangential lines to locate components driven by a curve. Sketch driven patterns can contain a centroid or a selected point to locate components driven by a sketch.

Previously, these patterns were available for parts only.

Click Assembly > Insert > Component Pattern, and select Curve Driven Tool_Curve_Driven_Pattern or Sketch Driven Tool_Sketch_Driven_Pattern .
