Linear sketch patterns allow us to pattern sketch entities in a linear direction. The following sketch shows us how we can define linear patterns in SOLIDWORKS sketching:
In the preceding sketch, the shaded circle is the base circle, while the other ones are additions to be made with the pattern command. The annotations in writing are the parameters that we need in order to communicate a pattern with SOLIDWORKS sketching. Each of the annotations is repeated twice, one for the X-axis and one of the Y-axis. They are as follows:
- Axes: The X-axis and Y-axis represent the direction in which our pattern is implemented.
