- Pitch method as defined in swChainPatternPitchMethod_e; available for all types of chain patterns
- FlipDirection
- True to reverse the direction of the chain pattern, false to not; available for all types of chain patterns
- FillPath
- True to automatically set the number of pattern instances to fill the path, false to not; available for all types of chain patterns and when EqualSpacing is false for distance and linkage distance chain patterns
- Number
- Number of pattern instances; available for all types of chain patterns when FillPath is false
- Spacing
- Distance between the pattern instances when EqualSpacing is false; only available for distance and linkage distance chain patterns when EqualSpacing is false
- GroupOneFlipPlane
- True to flip the path alignment plane for Chain Group 1, false to not; available for all types of chain patterns
- GroupTwoChain
- True to set the component to pattern for Chain Group 2, false to not; only available for connected linkage chain patterns
- GroupTwoFlipPlane
- True to flip the path alignment plane for Chain Group 2, false to not; only available for connected linkage chain patterns
- AlignMethod
- Alignment method as defined in swChainPatternAlignment_e; only available for distance and linkage distance chain patterns
