6 Optionally, click More, and then choose one or more options:
■ Click Suppress to select individual pattern elements to remove from
the pattern. The geometry is suppressed.
■ Click Associative to specify that the pattern updates when changes
are made to the part.
■ Click Fitted to specify that pattern elements are equally fitted within
the specified angle. If not selected, the pattern spacing measures the
angle between elements instead of the overall angle for the pattern.
7 Click OK to create the pattern.
