Allow Symmetric Component Patterns in Assembly Environment

Allow Symmetric Component Patterns in Assembly Environment

Add the "Symmetric" option to the Component Pattern dialog box.  This would allow for the correct number of components to show in the BOM when the pattern is created.  Currently, I have to use both directions to accomplish this and in turn causes my component count in the BOM to be incorrect.

Hi!

I want create a symmetric rectangular series of components but I can't start selecting the central component.

I can use it only for make a rectangular series of holes (with midplane) selecting the central hole.

Is it possible?

 

Thank's

 

Nicola

Thanks for the update BryanKelley, but I do not believe that the reply marked as the "solution" accomplishes the same thing as what I am suggesting.
