About the Point Pattern Dialog Box
Use point patterns to place screw connections. You can define the point patterns with or without holes, and with or without automatic UDF definition to create holes in parts that are attached to the profile.
The following commands are available in the Point Pattern dialog box.

Dimensions
X0
Distance from the profile end to the first pattern point along the length of the profile.
X1
Increment between pattern points along the length of the profile.
N_X
Number of points along the length of the profile.
Y0
Distance along the Y axis to the first point perpendicular to the length of the profile.
Y1
Increment between pattern points along the Y axis perpendicular to the length of the profile.
N_Y
