Linear Patterns

Use linear patterns to create multiple instances of one or more features that you can space uniformly along one or two linear paths.
 

Pattern instances inherit the visual properties of the original feature when you select Propagate Visual Properties in the PropertyManager.

To create a linear pattern:

1. Create one or more features to replicate.

When you create a pattern using a Shape feature, all pattern instances must be on the same face.

2. Click Linear Pattern on the Features toolbar, or Insert, Pattern/Mirror, Linear Pattern.

3. Set the PropertyManager options.

4. Click OK .
