An offset from that reference is available to maintain proper spacing from the end. If the location of the reference is moved, the number of instances is recalculated.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to choose a fixed number of equally spaced instances without regard to the spacing. If the reference moves the spacing is adjusted to fit, maintaining the fixed number of instances.<\/p>\n<p>This new capability of the linear pattern is a tremendous time saver, as it is no longer necessary to create equations to achieve the same results!<\/p>\n<p>Originally posted in the <a href=\"http:\/\/Up to Reference Pattern\" target=\"_blank\">SOLIDWORKS Blog<\/a>, by Jeremy Regnerus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/products\/products-solidworks\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\">Find out more on SOLIDWORKS<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/company\/contact\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\">Contact Sales<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/demo-request\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\">Request a Demo<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mkt.solidworks.com\/emarketing_enu\/start.swe?SWECmd=InvokeMethod&amp;SWEMethod=StartSS&amp;SWEView=URLRouter&amp;SWEApplet=SSRoute&amp;SWENargs=SSId=1-2NJUNBE,SSName=REP+ENG-INTL+SW+3D+for+2D+-+Building+Assemblies,SSLC=,SSCC=,CID=1-2OC1GHW,OID=1-2NJISUY,COID=1-2OC1GHX,PRO=1-NKZ7N\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/REP_3Dfor2DBuildingAssemblies_600x90_SAL.png\" alt=\"REP_3Dfor2DBuildingAssemblies_600x90_SAL\" width=\"600\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year SOLIDWORKS releases a new version of it\u2019s flagship product.
