Using a configuration on an Array

[caddude]

Is it possible to use a configuration within an Array?  I have an array of components that are all similar except for two locations.  I'd like to be able to use a configuration at those two locations rather than suppress and then add in those two different components.  Is this possible?

You can do Configurations of Patterns, what you call an Array.  I did a Rectangular Pattern Configuration in one axis, it is attached.  NOTE: A Configured Model file is an F3Z file which you will have to Upload to the Cloud in order to open it.  The Forum is not accepting F3Z files so I had to ZIP it first.

Hello John,

Thank you for replying so quickly.  The array was not within a single part but an array of multiple parts (see image 15-36-24).  What I'd like to do is something like 15-55-25 which I can accomplish by inserting different configs of the same part.  I was hoping that I could do this by selecting a component or body within the array and changing just that version but instead all the version of the array change.

You cannot do that with Patterns.  Patterns create instances of the source, so a change will affect all instances.

Thanks for verifying Guatham.  I was hoping maybe I was missing something, but I'll just use my workaround.  Thank you!
