7.3.2 Placing a Pattern
Once the pattern has been created, its location on the workpiece must be defined. Placing a pattern is the
process of defining the pattern locations (placement points) on the workpiece in relation to the workpiece
pattern origin. You can place the same pattern at different locations on a workpiece by teaching two or
more pattern placement points for the pattern.
For example in Figure 7-4, the Chip Pattern is placed in three different locations on the workpiece. There
are three pattern placement points.
Figure 7-4 Placing a Pattern at Multiple Locations
In addition to repeating a pattern at multiple locations on a workpiece, you can also place two or more
different patterns on a workpiece. Select the desired patterns from the list and place them appropriately.
