Summary: Have a sketch pattern editable so that if you edit the first part it updates the rest of the pattern.
Description: I wish Inv could have a sketch patterning tool that would produce useful sketches and that can be editted after patterning.
How Used: The sketch pattern tool is a horrible tool that rarely produces a useful closed sketch.
I'm currently working on a milling cutter with six faces. It consists of six repeatable sketches that can be patterned around the centre. But I don't know EXACTLY where one element of the sketch will intersect the next. So I need to Trim/Extend a couple of the lines to suit afterwards. If I trim/extend an original line this should be copied around the pattern.
Also the pattern tools don't create closed loops, you have to go around and do this manually.
It would be nice if the pattern tools would give the option of automatically closing the loop and trim/extend to fit the current pattern.
Feature Affinity: Sketching
