Sketch pattern dialog box information

Linear: The pattern is linear, that is, the members of the pattern are in straight rows.

Horizontal, Qnt

Enter the number of pattern members in horizontal direction.

Instead of horizontal direction, you can click the "horizontal" with the Select function.

Horizontal, Dist

Enter the distance between the pattern members in horizontal direction (center-to-center).

The positive value directs the pattern to the right and the negative value directs the pattern to the left.

Vertical, Qnt

Enter the number of pattern members in vertical direction.

If you clicked the "horizontal direction", then the "vertical direction" is perpendicular to it.

Vertical, Dist

Enter the distance between the pattern members in vertical direction. (center-to-center).

The positive value directs the pattern up and the negative value directs the pattern down.

Direction - Select

Click the line along which the pattern will be drawn.

Note that the line has a start point and an end point that are determined when you added the line and this determines the direction of the line. Use the Preview to see if the pattern is generated in the desired direction.

Polar: The pattern is polar, that is, the members of the pattern are located on the circumference of a circle.

Center point - Select

Click the location of the center point of the pattern.

If you do not select the location of center point of the pattern, the program uses the origin of the sketch as the center point.

Add Constraints: = The constraints of the first member of the pattern are applicable to all members of the pattern. The constraints appear in the constraint list: Pattern.; = The constraints do not apply to other members of the pattern.

Preview: Shows how the pattern would look with the values you entered and clicked.
