Hi,
When I "Add Reusable Component" in an assembly, there is "Create Component Pattern" check box that I can select to automatically add a standard part to all features in a pattern. See attached. Then I save the standard part to local, and add it to an assembly under "Add Component", there is no "Create Component Pattern" check box. It takes me quite some time to add and constrain every bolts or nuts to an assembly. I really want that "Create Component Pattern" feature in the "Add Component". Or is there a better way to add same parts to patterned features?
I'm using NX8.5

Thanks.
