pattern sketch elements???

pattern sketch elements???

pattern sketch elements???

(OP)
is there not a way to pattern elements i.e. a circle inside a sketch?

RE: pattern sketch elements???

skeeter,

What exactly are trying to do? Without a base feature like a protrusion or surface you can create the pattern points, but will be unable to pattern the circle itself. If you have a base feature, then there are a couple ways to accomplish the actual patterning.

Do you have a drawing or screenshot that you can post so we can see what exactly your trying to do??

RE: pattern sketch elements???

In Draft, yes you can make non-associative patterns of elements.
In model sketches, no you cannot make patterns of 2D elements.

that answers my question, thanks.

I'm not sure why you can't do that on 2d elements. Thats a pretty common feature on other modeling softwares.
