Testing the Equation in the Pattern

Now test the equation. Increase the total instances of the circular pattern from three to four.

Click CirPattern1 in the FeatureManager design tree.
In the graphics area, click the total instances value (3).
Type 4 in the callout and press Enter.

The callout is Instant3D functionality, which is enabled by default. If it is not visible, enable Instant3D by clicking Instant3D (Features tab).

The part updates to show four instances of the pattern. The spacing angle value changes to 90 in the graphics area.

You may need to click Rebuild to display the new values.
Click File > Save to This PC.
