Specifying Modify Parameters for Curve Driven Patterns
The Modify: Curve Driven Pattern Parameters dialog box lets you specify Modify parameters for a curve driven pattern. The following parameters are available:
Direction 1
| Instance count | Set a value for the number of instances of the feature you want in the curve driven pattern. | |
| Equal spacing | Select On to set patterns with equal spacing in a 360° span. | |
| Spacing | (available only when Equal spacing is set to Off). Set a value for the spacing length between each instance in the curve driven pattern. | |
| Curve method | Select an option to modify the patterns with the specified curve method. | |
| Alignment method | Select an option to modify the patterns with the specified alignment method. |
Direction 2
If the selected pattern is bi-directional, the options under Direction 2 are available.
The Modify utility does not change the pattern type. For example single direction patterns remain as single directions, and bi-directional patterns remain as bi-directionals.
| Instance count | Set a value for the number of instances of the feature you want in the curve driven pattern. | |
| Equal spacing | Select On to set patterns with equal spacing in a 360° span. | |
| Spacing | (available only when Equal spacing is set to Off). Set a value for the spacing length between each instance in the curve driven pattern. | |
| Pattern seed only | (available only if Other direction was selected in the Find utility). Select As is, Off, or On to modify patterns with only the seed feature patterned in Direction2. | |
| Geometry pattern | Select On to find curve driven patterns created with a geometry pattern. Select As is to find curve driven patterns regardless if they were created with a geometry pattern. Select Off to find curve driven patterns created without a geometry pattern. |
