Circular Patterns

Use circular patterns to create multiple instances of one or more features that you can space uniformly around an axis. You can also pattern planes and axes.

Pattern instances inherit the feature color of the original feature when the:
  • Pattern is based on one feature.
  • Color of the pattern or any faces on any pattern instances have not been changed.
    The feature colors are not inherited if you pattern or mirror multibody parts.

To create a circular pattern:

  1. Create one or more features to replicate. You can also pattern planes and axes.
  2. Click Circular Pattern (Features toolbar) or Insert > Pattern/Mirror > Circular Pattern.
  3. Set the PropertyManager options.
  4. Click .
