Sketch / Point driven pattern

[stefanvanderheijden]

Hi all,

Am I correct in concluding (after looking for it) that Fusion doesn't offer a sketch driven pattern (like Solidworks)? I'd really like such a pattern feature. 

Alternatively, I'd really like it if move/copy > Point to Point would allow me to select multiple Target Points, that would in practise result in the same functionality.

 

typical situation where I'd like point-driven pattern (would be faster then mirroring the parts).

Allowing me to select multiple Target Points (and thereby creating multiple copies) would results in the same behaviour.

EDIT: A better use case example (not symmetric):

A wooden block with holes in it (driven by point-driven-holes).

One hole has a dowel in it, I want the dowel component in the other holes.

Thanks for the great product!

Unfortunately, yes!

I've asked for this at least 10 years ago!

There really are situations where point-driven pattern is the only elegant solution 😪

btw, my example isn't really the best as the part still is mirrored along X and Y.

I've added and example usecase to the original post 🙂

duplicate with joints is probably the best option here-
