Assembly Modeling

25.9. -Instead of manually adding the rest of the screws, we'll make a component

pattern using the first screw. Just like a feature pattern in a part, we can add linear

or circular component patterns in an assembly, but in this case we are going to

use a different type of pattern that allows us to make a component pattern to match

a part's feature pattern. Think of it this way: we

make a pattern of bolts to match the pattern of ~

holes in the 'Side Cove'. This way, IF the pattern , Linear Smart Move

previously added, and in the "Driving Feature" select any of the patterned holes in

the 'Side Cover' except the original hole. When selecting a hole's face, make sure

the pop-up highlight shows the "CircPattern1" name; this way we'll know it's a

patterned hole, otherwise we'll get a warning. After selecting the patterned hole's

face we'll see the preview of the screws pattern; click OK to continue.
