Revolute Joint Circular Pattern

[bs1]

I have a revolute joint which needs to be repeated 20 times around the circumference of a cylinder. I have tried using the circular pattern tool, but it does not let me select the joint as it is not a body/face/component/feature. Is there any way of repeating/copying a joint multiple times to identical, but separate components, without having to manually set each one?

Hi @bs1, I managed to do it, but I don't think the solution is very good. I was able to achieve this by creating a component adding two bodies to the component then convert the main body that needs the 20 or 5 joints in my situation to a component. Then I made a resolute joint of the top most component using the new component in the original component this places the joint inside the original component, then when I make a circular pattern of the top most component Fusion duplicates the components and the joint. Then I had to go in and ground the duplicate components. Finally it still wouldn't work so I converted the smaller body in the original component to a new component. So basically it did work but if it results in less work I don't really think it does. Maybe other folks have ideas, and I've attached my file to take a look at.
