Enhancements to Multibody Design - Pattern References in Boolean Operations

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
Collectors in Boolean operations that allow the selection of multiple bodies now support the selection of a geometry pattern feature that creates a pattern of bodies. This enables a parametric update of the Boolean operation when the model is regenerated with a changed number of pattern instances in the body pattern.
Previously, the Boolean operations involving bodies created by a pattern feature did not update when the number of the pattern instances changed.
This enhancement increases productivity through an improved design stability.
Additional Information
Tips: | None. |
Limitations: | Selecting the body pattern group header underneath the Bodies folder selects all the bodies individually. To enable parametric behavior, you need to select the related body pattern feature. |
Does this replace existing functionality? | No. |
Configuration option associated with this functionality: | None. |
