Pattern on path option in sketch not showing.

Dear sir, Pattern on path works in modify any body faces or components but not sketch. But I need to create pattern on path. I've seen the tutorial here http://autode.sk/1DZSz1T. But in my Fusion 360, I do not see any Pattern on path option in sketch. I see patter on path option in modify not in sketch.

There is no pattern on path for sketches.  The tutorial you referenced uses pattern on path from the model environment as a work around, by patterning patch bodies, and then projecting them onto a new sketch.

 

In general, it's better to pattern 3d objects rather than sketch objects.  You might get some help if you post more about what your trying to accomplish.

An interesting problem.  Here is a screen cast showing some of the issues, and also how to do the pattern.

 

A few of the important parts that can be seen in the screen cast-

-in general, it's better to do fillets on the 3d body, and not in the sketch.

 

-Using the top of the body as the path was causing an issue because of the shape of the path.  You don't want the cog outline to be part of the path.  That was fixed by creating an outline on a separate sketch before the cog is made.

 

-the small fillet going all the way into the corner was confusing the pattern on path command.  That is fixed by making sure the fillet stopped short of the corner

 

-now that the pattern is going all the way around, the problem is the cog not flowing around the larger fillets right.  that was fixed by again changing the path.  I split the edge of the path at the center of cog profile, and redefined the path outline. (this is a problem related to a known bug where pattern on path performs in a weird way if the object and path don't start at the same place.

 

also attached is the file I ended up with.  hope this helps.
