https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/best-way-to-pattern-components/m-p/5535887#M301773 <P>I've run out of time on this today, but I get your intent now which is key.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Just a couple things about the workflow because you are on to something.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>* If it doesn't need to move, it doesn't need to be a component.</P> <P>Applied here: if the battery pack were one component in your main assembly it could be a pattern of bodies inside one "battery pack" component. It would still be a component, of course, so you could apply joints, but the individual batteries I don't think need to live as individual components.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>** However, do not try this at home unless you are adventurous. I just froze Fusion trying to make a body pattern out of this thing. I need more time with it to determine the cause. Back at you tomorrow on this. Thanks for sharing your model.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Thanks,</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 10 Mar 2015 23:35:51 GMT Phil.E 2015-03-10T23:35:51Z
