Circular Component Pattern

This document describes the types of rules that can be applied to models that have advanced feature parameters captured.

Driving advanced feature dimensions increases model generation time. Where possible capture feature dimensions (distances, numbers and angles) as dimensions rather than an advanced feature parameter.

During model generation captured dimensions are driven before captured advanced feature parameters. If the advanced feature parameter has also been captured as a dimension the value being driven into the advanced feature parameter will override the captured dimension.

Circular Component Pattern Advanced Feature Parameters

ParameterInput Type and ExampleDescription
Skipped ItemsString

"3|8|26"

A pipe delimited list of items to skip. Setting this to 0 will clear the selection and no items will be skipped.

3|8|28 will skip items 3, 8 and 26 in the pattern.

See Skipped Items (Component Patterns) below for more information.

SpacingInteger

45

Sets the spacing angle between instances of the circular pattern feature.
Pattern QtyInteger

4

Sets the total number of instances in the pattern.
Reverse DirectionBoolean

True

False

Set the direction of the pattern.

True - will propagate in the default direction.

False - will propagate in the opposite direction.

Direction 2Boolean

True

False

Sets the pattern in direction 2.
Equal SpacingBoolean

True

False

Sets whether the instances are equally spaced about 360 degrees.
Equal Spacing 2Boolean

True

False

Sets whether the instances are equally spaced about 360 degrees in direction 2.
Spacing 2Integer

45

Sets the spacing angle between instances of the circular pattern feature in direction 2.
Pattern Qty 2Integer

4

Sets the total number of instances in the pattern in direction 2.
Synchronize Flexible ComponentsBoolean

True

False

Moves components in the patterned instances when you move components in the seed flexible subassembly, and vice versa. This option is useful when you pattern flexible subassemblies.

Skipped Items (Component Patterns)

The Skipped Items property requires the item number of the patterned item.

The item number is the order it appears in the SOLIDWORKS feature manager when the pattern feature is expanded.

The patterned items always start at 1 (the first item after the seed).
