SolidWorks 2014 Tutorial18: Linear Pattern in sketch Video Lecture | SolidWorks: Essential Training (All Commands included) - IT & Software

today I attend we got to talk about the
next feature in this catchment Alinea
sketch pattern is also a sketch
manipulation tool which shape times and
creating copies and instant instances
for existed sketch the start schedule on
top layer let's make a rectangle let's
make here sir here okay so one knot we
have we have here the middle under
linear butter but if you go to the
feature you have also the mirror and the
pattern but they are different because
this one in the feature mode you are
working on the solid or 3d parts but
with the sketch it's working on the 2d
or sketch level so let's activate the
linear sketch further and here is the
x-axis selected the distance between the
instances and the number of instances so
we selected two here and then let's make
the distance to be 20 millimeter
increase the number of instances you see
you are creating copies or duplicating
that is the circle instead of drawing
them all the time so this is between to
be 30 so when you are done okay okay so
again let's try to make instance in that
direction let's activate the linear
pattern it just for example this to be
this Civic soon up is not able to select
the direction so now we just here
deactivate the direction one because we
don't want to make it one so now it is
deactivated now let's make the direction
to is the y-axis
and here Delina two-parter your
selection and select this circuit the
number of instances so we can make six
instances the D spacing three here we
can just delete this line need only the
circle and change the direction can
click on that arrow or here you can make
the change today the degrees but on the
arrow is easier to leave that direction
so when you are done click OK
also you have one option down distance
is to scale so for example you don't
need all these six you need some of them
so you can activate in itself to scale
and you know to do this point shorten
that circle if you select that circle
will be skipping so now let's make
another example let's make the pattern
to be not on the XY or the X direction
or Y direction to be something in
between so in this case there is a
angular manipulation let's in your
sketch button and select in entities to
button this circle here you have the
angle you can sit until 30 degree angle
it's negative distances to be wide
spacing 30 click on clip direction there
so if the angle of 30 is what the one we
need you can make it 219
here you can change to the angry one
instances done okay so we showed you
three different cases how to use the
linear button
