Mates not coming with linear pattern???
Mates not coming with linear pattern???
(OP)
Hello,
I have an assembly that uses a linear pattern of parts. This pattern has about 24 instances each consisting of 6 parts. Each of the 6 parts in the "seed" have 3 mates for a total of 18 mates in the "seed" for the pattern. Now, the problem is that when I make the pattern, the mates do not seem to come with. I hope I do not have to add the mates to each one, as that would be 432 (24 x 18) mates. Please tell me there is another proper way to do this. I did consider just box selecting all of the components and "fixing" them but this seems like a band-aid rather than proper modeling technique.
