Rectangular Pattern Produces Odd Results

[HowardAlison.Smith]

I'm a big fan of Fusion and frequently use patterns to duplicate components around my design.  It seems a very dependable piece of functionality. 

I've got two parallel rails spanned by a perpendicular rail.  I've inserted some cast brackets to hold this perpendicular rail to the parallel rails.  I planned to use a rectangular pattern to place 4 perpendicular rails with brackets along the length of the parallel rails.  In the preview, the rails and brackets pattern perfectly.  When I press OK, the rails remain fine, however the brackets pattern the other way.  

I may have strayed into an unsupported piece of functionality but thought it worthy of mention in case it is a bug or (more likely) I'm doing something wrong.  The difference to what I normally do is that the cast brackets are part of another design I've inserted into my design and then broken the link.

Thanks Guenther,  

I've done a screencast for the first time (hope that works for you) and attached the simple file.

All the best

Hi Guenther,

You are a star; I've got it!  The inserted design was two cast brackets, spaced by 20mm to go either side of a 2020 extrusion.  I'd forgotten this when doing the rectangular pattern and had selected the two cast brackets on my design rather than in the browser.  That confuses Fusion.  However I tried it again select the cast brackets from the browser and it works perfectly.  

Thanks again, and great product

Howard
