Patterning Reference Geometry

You can create linear or circular patterns of planes and axes.

To pattern reference geometry:

  1. Open a part, click Insert > Pattern/Mirror, and select Linear Pattern or Circular Pattern.
  2. In the PropertyManager, select Reference Geometry.
  3. For Reference Plane or Reference Axis to Pattern , select the plane or axis to pattern.
  4. Specify the parameters, then click .
You can modify the spacing and instance parameters for Direction 1 and Direction 2. You can skip, vary, and delete instances.
Limitations:
  • If a plane contains a sketch, the plane pattern does not pattern the sketch.
  • A pattern can contain one reference geometry entity only, either one plane or one axis.
