Join John Helfen for an in-depth discussion in this video Create rectangular feature patterns, part of Autodesk Inventor 2018 Essential Training.
- Let's look at how we can create…a rectangular pattern of a feature.…On the screen, you can see a model…I've created to get started with.…And in the browser, you can see…we have a couple of features.…We have Extrusion 1, which is our base feature.…And we have Extrusion 2, which is a hole that's cut through.…Now, I want to start off by mentioning…a little information about patterns in general.…And I talked about this in the sketch version…of this as well.…And that is that I generally try to keep…all my patterns at the part level.…Let me show you why I do that.…
If we look at Extrusion 2 in the browser,…and we click the plus symbol next to it,…you can see that we have a sketch…that defines the position of our first hole,…or our extrusion, which is our hole.…And if we were needed to, we could have…in that sketch patterned that hole…to create the pattern we're about to create.…The reason I don't do that typically…is because once the feature is created, in order to edit it,…I'm going to have to find it in the browser,…
