Circular Sketch Pattern ..................................................................................


The Circular Sketch Pattern defaults to the sketch Origin as the center of the pattern. You can
move and position this point using the numbers in the PropertyManager, but you cannot dimension
it until after the pattern is created. Again, this is another feature where you need to pre-select
because window selection is not available (patterned sketch entities must be selected one by one to
go into the Entities to Pattern panel). Figure 8.4 shows the Circular Pattern PropertyManager.
