Malcolm Crowe Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) I use the term "Pattern Group" as a Group (of Parts, Assemblies or Patterns) created using the "Linear Pattern" tool of the TriBall; where the pattern number has been set to "1" and the distance to "0" (zero). "Pattern Groups" are extremely useful for simplifying the assembly structure within the Scene Browser, without affecting the BOM (which would be affected if an Assembly was used). The attached video demonstrates how this can be used for grouping hundreds of fasteners to greatly simplify the assembly structure, without affecting the BOM in the associated 2D Drawing. It also includes placing Pattern Groups within other Pattern Groups.
