Create a Linear Pattern in One Direction by Defining the Number of Elements

You can create a linear pattern lengthways or widthways by defining the number and length of the elements, or the number and delta (gap between the elements).

1. On the tab, in the Model group, click Pattern.
2. Click the part you want to create a pattern.
3. Select Linear in the dialog box of the pattern in the assembly.
4. Define the pattern to be in one direction. Complement the data for either Length Direction or Width Direction.
   • Fill in the Number of the components and their Length or Delta. The number includes the component used to create the pattern.
   • Select positioning the pattern by clicking New Pattern.
5. Click OK.

In Context-sensitive Menu

1. Select the component from which you wish to create a pattern from the assembly.
2. Select the Pattern function from the context-sensitive menu.
3. Select Linear in the dialog box of the pattern in the assembly.
4. Define the pattern to be in one direction. Complement the data for either Length Direction or Width Direction.
   • Fill in the Number of the components and their Length or Delta. The number includes the component used to create the pattern.
   • Select positioning the pattern by clicking New Pattern.
5. Click OK.
6. Before clicking the location of the control part, you can rotate it or click a new reference point.
   • Rotate the control part around its axis. The direction of the positive X axis (red) determines the lengthwise direction in the assembly (default). The direction of the positive Y axis (green) determines the widthwise direction.

7. Select a position for the control part.
   • Select a point or line of the component for which you wish to create the pattern.
   • Select a point or a line from the assembly geometry.
