    Groups and Patterns

    Use groups and patterns to quickly model parts with repeated elements.

    A Group is a collection of features that is treated as one object. When you create a group containing unlike features, this creates a user-defined feature, which can be used as the basis for a pattern.

    A Pattern enables you to quickly create the same feature at multiple locations.
