Create solid copied pattern according to sketch?

I'm trying to repeat a single solid object according to a pattern. I have a over 50 tiny solid objects which are identical that I need to replicate. They don't follow a specific pitch/offset. In Inventor I was able to copy objects according to a sketch pattern where the sketch pattern consisted of a series of points. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this in Fusion?

 

The only thing I can see in Fusion is to copy each item and repeat it 50 times. This isn't realistic, especially since I often have hundred of these items in my designs. Any help is appreciated.

fusion does not have the inventor functionality of locating copies according to points in a sketch.

The best you can do is rectangular pattern or circular pattern, which doesn't sound like it will fit what you need.

Using the Suppress option in a pattern could work, but without seeing your model, it would be hard to say for sure.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was hoping there was something that would make this possible but I was missing it. For this design I just used the copy option 50x. Very frustrating. Correct this doesn't fall within a repeatable pattern so using the array option won't work. Will have to revert back to Inventor for future designs. With any luck this ability will get rolled into Fusion.
