Figure 9.3
The Linear Pattern
PropertyManager

Using the Circular Sketch Pattern
The Circular Sketch Pattern option defaults to the sketch origin as the center of the pattern. You
can move and position this point using the numbers in the PropertyManager, but you cannot
dimension it until after the pattern is created. Again, this is another feature where you need to
preselect because window selection is not available (patterned sketch entities must be selected
one by one to go into the Entities to Pattern panel). Figure 9.4 shows the Circular Pattern
PropertyManager.
