Edit a Part Pattern

General

  • When a pattern has been positioned as a new pattern, you can edit its data in the dialog box.
  • You can edit a pattern by editing the auxiliary part of the pattern.
  • If the pattern has been created associatively to the feature pattern of a part, you can modify it only by editing the feature pattern of the part.
  • If the pattern has been created associatively to another part pattern of an assembly, you can modify it only by editing the part pattern that acts as a reference.
    • When you edit a part pattern that acts as a reference, the associative pattern changes to match the reference pattern.
