Auto-Repair for Missing Component Pattern References

You can repair missing direction references in linear component patterns and circular component patterns.

For linear component patterns, SOLIDWORKS repairs the missing direction reference by selecting a reference on the component that is the same type and orientation, and is either the same location or the closest entity to the missing reference.

For circular component patterns, SOLIDWORKS repairs the missing direction reference by selecting a reference on the component that is the same entity and is coaxial with the missing axis. If there are multiple options for a replacement axis, SOLIDWORKS selects the closest to the missing axis.

You cannot use Auto Repair in Large Design Review mode.
To repair missing references in linear or circular component patterns:
  1. Open a model that contains a linear component pattern or a circular component pattern with a missing direction reference.
  2. Right-click the pattern and in the context toolbar, click Auto Repair .
    If SOLIDWORKS cannot repair the error, you are prompted to repair the pattern manually.
