Curve Driven Patterns

The Curve Driven Pattern tool allows you to create patterns along a planar or 3D curve. To define the pattern, you can use any sketch segment, or the edge of a face (solid or surface), that lies along the plane. You can base your pattern on an open curve, or on a closed curve, such as a circle.

Like other pattern types, such as linear or circular, you can skip pattern instances, and pattern in one or two directions.

To create a curve driven pattern:

  1. Create a part that includes a feature you want to pattern along a curve.
  2. Click Curve Driven Pattern (Features toolbar) or Insert > Pattern/Mirror > Curve Driven Pattern.
  3. In the PropertyManager, set the options.
  4. Click .
