Remove parts from an existing pattern

[ZFerrarini]

In Inventor 2023 I crated this pattern. Now I changed my mind, and I would like to remover the two parts and keep just the assembly.

If I try to edit the pattern, I don't see a way to unselect the parts.

In the editor there is no window where I can remove them.

The only way I see is delete the pattern and redo it from scratch.

Is there a way to just remove components from a pattern without having to redo it?

Thank you in advance.

When you edit the pattern, all three items should be highlighted, both in the browser and graphics window.  Use Ctrl+click to de-select the parts.

Thank you.

Is there a way skip instances if I want?

[andrewiv]

You can suppress instances in the pattern.  Is that what you're looking for?

[ZFerrarini]

I used Solidworks and there an option to skip the instances I didn't want to see/use. I am just asking if the same option is available.

[andrewiv]

The same option is not available that I know of.  The closest thing is you can suppress elements of the pattern, except for the first element, or you can suppress components in the elements.

Ok, thank you.
