Component Pattern based on an Assembly Feature Pattern

[jhunt107]

A pattern of components would be driven by a Feature Pattern in the current or lower assembly.

This can be accomplished with a feature pattern in a part file, but not if the pattern is an sub-assembly modeling feature.

It can be done with parameters. use the parameters that you made when making the pattern. very easy to do.

[jhunt107]

yes parameters can be linked, but it would be much easier to pick it.

Agreed. [US14254]

Accepted idea [US14254]. Thanks!

We are refining procedures around idea status.  Changing this to Future Consideration.

I have a case where I have a set of holes (non-uniformed spacing) that is put in a weldment assembly using Sketch Driven Pattern.  In the assembly where I am attaching the weldment I can't use the Sketch Driven Pattern to define a pattern for the hardware (bolts, washers, etc.).  So I have to assemble six sets of hardware in these holes.

We are also encountering the same problem.
Would it be possible to implement this into Inventor ?
Below are two captures which I hope will make it easier to collect votes for this request.
