Repeating Objects

Object Repetition lets you create several instances of objects as you are currently creating one object.

Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing geometric elements.
  1. Select an object, as listed above.
  2. In the Instance(s) box, enter the number of instances of the object you want to create.
  3. Select the repetition mode.

    Important: The repetition modes are unavailable if you selected a point on a curve in step 1. If you want to use a repetition mode for a point on a curve, you can use the Points & Planes Repetition command instead.

  4. Select Create in a new Body to put all the instances in a separate body.
    A new geometrical set or ordered geometrical set is created automatically, depending on the type of body the points or planes to be repeated belong to.
  5. Click OK.
    The object is created as many times as required in the Object Repetition dialog box.
    Important:
    • Selecting sub-elements of a feature (that is, edges or faces) or of an axis system (that is, xy plane) is not allowed.
    • You can activate both Repeat and Datum modes at the same time. The original feature (i.e. the feature created without the datum mode) is kept.
