linear step and repeat. 1

[PaulnKY]

Under tools/sketch tools. "There is liner step and repeat".
I am trying to control a hole series at the assembly level and using this command was the only way I have found to array a hole series. The hole array needs to be design table driven but I am having a hard time determining what the parameter name is for this pattern. clicking on the differnet entities gives me the properties for thos entities and not the pattern. Any ideas?

But if you can't get a name off the dimensions what's the point of either using a DT or an Equation?? There isn't a point. Because as far as I can tell you CANNOT get the instances of a "Linear Sketch Step and Repeat" in as a usable Dimension.

Try making a "Linear Sketch Step and Repeat" in either a part or as an Assembly. You will see what Paul and I are talking about.

I do prefer DT over Equations, but you can add If Statements to Equations. Just an FYI, if you are aware of that Dennyd.

If you send your email address to the address in my profile I will send a simple example of what I mean, regarding the Equation usage.
