questions about patterns

[Anonymous]

Hi.

Questions:

1. In assembly how to make all parts of a pattern independent? If I create a rectangular series of a part in assembly, the series is like a subassembly and I can't move the single copies of the original part without move the entire pattern. Any ideas? If you need examples with iam and ipt, ask me.
2. How can I create a pattern (rectangular or circular or along a math curve) of a part in assembly via iLogic or VBA? Does some documentation exist about that?
3. How can I add Joints in Dynamic Simulation environment via iLogic or VBA? Does some documentation exist about that? About that I attached a zipped example: it is an inclined plane on which a disc rolls. I wish to add another N discs and add N rolling constraints (like the one of the simulation) between cylinder and floor with iLogic or VBA. N can be 10, 15, 20, ...
4. Can I set Inventor to start always with 'Shaded with edges' view when I'm in Dynamic Simulation environment? I can't believe that in version 2016 of Inventor Professional there is not an option to perform this task automatically. I don't want to do it manually every time because it is very boring when switching several times between the design environment and the dynamic simulation environment and from design environment to dynamic simulation environment I lost every time the 'Shaded with edges' view.
   

Thanks

Matteo
