    Hi all,

    I had a hard time using the function "Linear Sketch Step and Repeat"
    which you will find in TOOLS/SKETCH TOOLS/... Although this function
    seems quite easy to handle, it is the way I want to use it that causes
    me so much trouble. I want to be abled to control spacing and
    repetition of the pattern once the function is on. Well, I have been
    abled to control spacing from my sketch by putting a check mark beside
    "Fixed" but I haven't found the way to do the same thing with the
    number of repetition. Notice that I absolutely want to control these
    two features from my sketch (if possible).

    Could anyone help me?

    Thanks

    Marc

    Marc,

    That tool (and circular) was added for ACAD people. It has always seemed
    clumsy and incomplete to me.

    Truthfully, you have allot more control using feature patterns.
