Simulation "Replace with primitives" doesn't play well with patterns

[Toby.Roworth]

When replacing components with primitives in the simplify workspace, the components get removed from all patterned copied, but only the original gets replaced.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Circular pattern a component with child components
2. Simulation > Simplify > Replace with primitives
3. Replace with a cylinder
4. Children of patterned copies will have disappeared, but only the original gets a primative

The expected behaviour is either:

• Preferred: All copies get primitives replaced
• Copies do not get parts removed
• Even better: Make it an option which is correct.

Hi Toby,

In the Replace With Primitives command dialog, did you choose "Components" for the Object Type, and did you check the box for "Replace all occurrences"?
