Make Patterned Components Unique - Fusion

[djlunty]

I understand that patterned components cannot be made unique but what would be the best workaround when I want to create unique text (a label) on each patterned component.  Don't want to modify the body - just change the text. To me the option is to cut and paste new but this gets old really fast.  Is there a better way to do this?  File attached.

do you need the pattern for positioning purposes, or are you just using it as a means to make multiple copies of the component?

you can't yet make copies (or patterns) of external configured components have different configured states.   but if you drag each instance in one at a time instead, you can set them to different configured states.  Doesn't completely solve your dilemma if you must have the pattern for positioning purposes.  but jointing the components might solve that issue.

unfortunately, can't have copies of internal components with different configured states at all.

see attached for proposed workaround.

Thank you for that workaround.  I do need the pattern for position.  For me using copy and paste new and joints will work just as easy.
