Sketch-step and repeat-editing-Can I add geometry to the array?
(OP)
I have a sketch on a part where I have centerlines, step and repeated. Now I want to add real geometry to that array. I right click on one of the centerlines, and hit edit step and repeat. It opens the step and repeat dialog box, and lets me change the number of repeats, but in the items to repeat window, the centerline is grayed out and I cant add anything. What am I doing wrong?

Scott is right- it's about time they upgraded this to a real tool, because it can be so useful. It is a bit half@$$ed right now. I know SW has a policy of getting some enhancements out early a limited form then collecting the feedback and updating it accordingly at the next rev. It seems unusual that they left something this basic in such a "raw" state for so long.
Having said that, he is also correct that in many cases patterning features is better. It all depends on what you are using the sketch pattern for. Things are so fast these days that it is difficult to say without testing, but there used to be a significant speed improvement using patterned features verses patterning in the sketch.
I was - and he did. So at least I didn't get coal.....
