Sketch Pattern Limitation

[jmosley]

Hello - If i create a circle in fusion and "rectangular pattern" the circle more that one time (so I have two overlapping patterns, I am only able to edit the last instance of the applying a pattern. I can not get to the settings of the first patterning

If you click and hold you get a selection box that will list the 2 rectangular pattern constraints. The top one will be the oldest, select either one from the list then right click away from any object and select edit from the menu.

Before you get too deep into this - I thought I might note that it is generally more computationally efficient to pattern features, faces or bodies rather than sketch elements.

This is great to know about thank you! I didn't get it to work in my test project for some reason -but it is working in my real project and I appreciate the help.

Thanks - the sketch tools do seem unusually inefficient in fusion compared with modeling.  - in this case I'm generating a sketch only to define CAM operations (no model will be built). Good to think about this in any case.
