Including multiple components in a pattern

[SharkDesign]

I'm using the function 

Patterns.AddRectangular

the help file describes parentcomponents as plural.  Does that mean I can include multiple parts here, or is it referring to plural only if you're patterning a pattern?

If I can add multiple parts in this single line of code, how do I do it?

Thanks

Dim rectPattern = Patterns.AddRectangular("RectPatternName", "ComponentA:1", 3, 1.5 in, Nothing, "X Axis", columnNaturalDirection := True, rowCount := 2, rowOffset := 1.0 in, rowEntityName := "Y Axis", rowNaturalDirection := True)

Yes, you can include, see below an example code, where I am adding multiple components in a pattern. You need to use  "{" brackets.

Patterns.AddCircular("Pattern Name",{"ANSI-Washer-01", "ANSI-Washer-02", "ANSI-Bolt-01", "ANSI-Nut"}, 6 ul , 360 deg / 6 ul,{"ABC", "abc"},"Y Axis")

Also to get the syntax right, I would suggest you create a pattern manually and then go to iLogic, right-click the pattern and click on Capture current state(Patterns. Add) to get this always correct. see below snap.

 

Hope this will help you.

Ahhhhhh, it was the {} that I was missing, thanks a lot!

I did try the patterns.add but nothing happened. It works on the add.constraints ones, but the pattern ones never work for some reason.
