Linear Pattern Driven by part dmensions in an assembly
Linear Pattern Driven by part dmensions in an assembly
(OP)
Hi. I have a rectangular plate with Four parts that must be placed in the corners of the plate. Actually I made four instances of that part and add mates to the plate, but I was wondering if there is any way to make a linear pattern of this parts along the edges of my plate and use the sketch dimension of it to control the distance in the pattern. I mean, if I change the length of the plate, the distance in the pattern changes. I Know about feature driven pattern, but there is no features in the plate to drive the assembly pattern.
Thank You for your help

eg:
"D3@LocalLPattern1"="Height@Sketch1@Rectangular Plate.Part"
"D4@LocalLPattern1"="Length@Sketch1@Rectangular Plate.Part"
If you are not familiar with Equations, you will need to read the SW Help files.

SW04:
1) Show your Part dimensions that you want to use.
2) insert\Component Pattern\Linear
3) Under the direction click the dimension.
4) Pick a distance
5) Then the number of instances
6) Click OK

I don't understand your last post!
If you have created the Linear Pattern as per SBaughs first post, followed by the Equation usage per my post ... the inserted parts should follow the corner points of the rectangle when its size is changed.
