Inserting Same Part in Assembly

Anyone know how i can insert the same part into holes that are linear
patterened, without adding and mating that part, one at a time? Example 10
rods inserted into 10 holes of a plate.

 

Nvrmind figured it out

 

I suppose you have a hole (cut) feature and a linear pattern feature
in one part and an other part - the rod.
Insert the first rod and mate it to your hole feature (not just any
hole).
Use "Insert-Component pattern-Feature driven" and select the pattern
feature from the feature tree as Driving feature and the rod as
Component to Pattern.
That should do it.

FYI.

Did you know that you can mimic any irregular hole pattern made with the
Hole Wizard in an assembly pattern, not just pattern features.

Nice - I never noticed. Would be even better if the components vere
reorientated when the hole-wizard was used on eg. a cylindrical shape.
