Hi Eugene777,
I think you'll want to create a workpoint in the part, then create the curve driven pattern in the part using the workpoint, and then in the assembly click pattern and use the Associative tab and the Feature Pattern Select button , and select the part level pattern to use as a guide.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

First you must create a (workpoint) pattern in the belt part for the assembly component pattern to populate.
It says "Rectangular Pattern", but it is really a Curve Driven Pattern as described in the link above.

Hi Eugene777,
I don't have Inventor 2013 installed any longer, so I had to go back to Inventor 2010 for this, but it shouldn't matter.
1) Create a workpoint in the belt file.
2) Use the Rectangular Pattern tool in the belt file to pattern along the curve. Be sure to use the Direction1 Orientation and Adjust options as shown.
3) The result is the patterned workpoint
4) Next, in the assembly constrain the first component to the belt using assembly constraints as usual.
5) Then, in the assembly switch the browser to Modeling View (See JDMather's previous screen shot) and then use the Pattern tool, and select the component to pattern, and then select the workpoint pattern.
I hope this helps.

Thank you a lot! I understand it! The problem of me and the another guys was that we are not in Modeling view! When you are in the assemble mode you muse chose Modeling view over the tree
