 Solid Modeling: Patterns And Groups
 

Patterns and Groups
 

This Pro Engineer Tutorial focuses on the many different types and ways to create patterns, including a rotational pattern that is controlled by a relation.
 
ProE Tutorial on Patterns and Groups

Patterns are one of the biggest time saving features used in Pro Engineer. This Pro Engineer Tutorial covers the ins and outs of Pattern creation. Included are the developments of one and two directional patterns.

Patterns don't necessarily have to be exactly the same. One of the steps in the Pro Engineer Tutorial covers varying the geometry of a pattern, such as the diameter. We also cover the benefits of creating a Group before you pattern features.

A very powerful feature of any parametric modeling tool is the ability to create relationships between geometry. This Pro Engineer Tutorial creates a rotational pattern that automatically spaces the number of instances equally around 360 degrees. If the number of instances changes, the correct spacing will be maintained.
