ME 470 Tutorial: Pattern Features

Patterns can be a great time saver on parts that have repeated features.

The first step is to draw the feature that will be used in the pattern.

For this part an extrude cut was used with the sketch to crate the feature to be patterned

The hole feature created in the last feature was the selected. Using the linear pattern and the settings on the tree the feature was created.

The linear pattern was selected and then a circular pattern was selected. This pattern had 4 copies if the linear pattern equally spaced around the outside of the part.

This is another example of a circular pattern in use.
