Editing Fill Pattern Properties

With a fill pattern node selected in the Structure tree, you can:

  • Change fill pattern parameters in the Layout section of the Properties panel. Changes that you make automatically update the pattern in the design window.
  • For hole patterns in Sheet Metal, right-click and select Lightweight Pattern to toggle a pattern between a lightweight pattern and regular pattern. When selected, a check mark displays next to the Lightweight Pattern command. This speeds up the display of hole patterns in Sheet Metal which can contain hundreds or thousands of members.
  • To update lightweight fill patterns to fit the existing geometry of your design, select the lightweight pattern node, then right-click and select Update Pattern.
