▪ Direction method:

▪ First direction reference collector—Collects a direction reference for the first direction.

▪ Members box—Sets the number of pattern members in the first direction.

▪ Spacing

▪ 2nd direction—Defines the second direction. Contains the same options as the first direction.

▪ Axis collector—Collects an axis to be the center of the pattern.

▪ 1st direction members—Sets the number of pattern members including the pattern leader in the first direction.

▪ Angle between members box—Sets the angle increment between pattern members in the first direction.

▪ 2nd direction members—Sets the number of pattern members in the second direction.

▪ Radial distance box—Sets the radial distance between pattern members in the second direction.

▪ Dimension collector—Collects dimensions to include in the pattern table.

▪ Active table—Shows the active table that drives the pattern.

▪ Edit—Opens a table editor window to edit the active table.

▪ Distance box

▪ Number of members box

▪ Reference collector—Displays the sketch, sketch feature, or point feature that defines the pattern member location.

▪ Use alternate origin collector—Collects an origin to align the pattern members with the leader, that is different from the default origin. The default origin is located at the center of an imaginary bounding box around the pattern leader geometry.

◦ Dimensions collector—Displays dimensions to include in the pattern table.

◦ Leader surfaces—Displays surfaces from a single body or a single quilt that define the pattern leader.

▪ Details—Opens the Surface Sets dialog box.

◦ Transform selected attachment rounds/chamfers check box—Patterns the selected rounds and chamfers that attach the patterned geometry to the model. If not checked, the selected attaching rounds and chamfers are removed and optionally recreated.

◦ Datum point—Displays the datum point that defines the pattern leader.

◦ Sketch collector—Displays the sketch reference for the feature.

▪ Define—Opens the Sketcher to define an internal sketch.

▪ Edit—Opens the Sketcher to edit the sketch.

◦ Table list—Each line contains a table index entry, starting with 1, and an associated table name. You can change the table name by typing a new one. If you right-click a table index entry in the collector, the shortcut menu contains the following commands:

▪ Add—Edits another table for the pattern. When you exit the editor, the new table is added at the bottom of the collector list.

▪ Remove—Removes the selected table from the collector.

▪ Apply—Activates the selected table. The active table is the table that drives the pattern.

▪ Edit—Edits the selected table. While you are editing the table, you can save it in a .ptb file, or read a previously saved .ptb file into it, by using the appropriate options under File. When you are done editing the table, click File > Exit. The table is then saved in the pattern.

▪ Read—Reads in a saved pattern table (a .ptb file).

▪ Write—Saves the selected pattern table. The table is saved in the current working directory in a file named <TableName.ptb>, where <TableName> is the name of the pattern table.

◦ Follow axis rotation check box——Rotates pattern members in the rotation plane to follow the axis rotation. Available for axis patterns.

◦ Use alternate origin—Uses an origin different than the default geometric center of the lead feature or geometry to place the pattern leader. Available for Fill, Curve, and Point patterns.

▪ Use alternate origin collector—Displays the alternate origin.

◦ Follow leader location check box—Offsets all pattern members from the sketch plane using the same distance as the pattern leader's offset. Available for fill patterns and point patterns that are based on a sketch.

◦ Follow surface shape check box—Positions pattern members to follow the shape of the selected surface.

▪ Follow surface shape collector—Displays the surface for the pattern to follow.

▪ Follow surface direction check box—Orients pattern members to follow the surface direction.

▪ Spacing—Sets the spacing between pattern members.

▪ As projected—Projects the pattern leader and pattern members straight onto the surface.

▪ Map to Surface Space—Projects the pattern leader straight onto the surface. The remaining pattern members are mapped from the sketch plane to the surface space so that the spacing on the surface matches the spacing in the sketch.

▪ Map to Surface UV Space—Projects the pattern leader straight onto the surface. Maps the remaining pattern members from the sketch to the uv-space of the surface based on their xy-coordinates relative to the first member in the sketching plane.

▪ Follow axis rotation check box—Orients pattern members around an axis. Available for axis patterns.

▪ Follow curve direction check box—Orients pattern members in the sketch plane to follow the curve. Available for curve patterns and point patterns that are based on a sketch.

◦ Attach pattern members check box—Attaches all pattern members to the model geometry.

◦ Create rounds/chamfers check box—Attaches all pattern members to the model geometry with rounds or chamfers of the same type and dimensions as the pattern leader.

◦ Name box—Sets a name for a feature.

• Direction 1 Reference—Activates the 1st direction reference collector to display a direction reference for the first direction.

• Direction 2 Reference—Activates the 2nd direction reference collector to display a direction reference for the second direction.

• Axis Reference—Activates the Axis collector to display the axis that is the center of the pattern.

• Fill Pattern Reference Surface—Activates the Follow surface shape collector.

• Table Pattern Dimensions—Activates the collector on the Table Dimensions tab to collect dimensions to include in the pattern.

• Pattern leader surfaces—Activates the Leader surfaces collector.

• Pattern leader curves and datums—Activates the Leader curves and datums collector.

• Pattern leader surfaces—Activates the Leader surfaces collector.

• Define Internal Sketch—Opens the Sketch dialog box to define an internal sketch.

• Edit Internal Sketch—Opens the Sketch tab to edit the internal sketch.

• Transform selected attachment rounds/chamfers—Patterns the selected rounds and chamfers that attach the patterned geometry to the model. If not checked, the selected attaching rounds and chamfers are removed and optionally recreated.
