Sometimes you need parts to follow a pattern across different parts in an assembly. but creating patterns separately in the parts can be a pain.
There are work-arounds (mentioned below) but using a simple sketch pattern in an assembly can take away all the heartburn, allowing you to get back to your spring-rolls and won-tons. Here’s how to do it.
There is a category of consumer software the design and engineering community has spent the last decade barely thinking about, and it has quietly become one of the most important interface layers on the modern internet. Vertical search engines – purpose-built indexes for specific categories like flights, jobs, real estate, code, apps, and creators – now handle a substantial share of the high-intent search queries that used to belong to general search engines. They’re enormous, they’re profitable, they’re growing, and almost nobody in the product design community treats them as serious software worth studying. That feels like a missed opportunity. This is a product designer’s look at the category -…
Utility strikes remain a hard cost in U.S. underground construction. They stop work, damage facilities, expose crews to gas and electric hazards, and can push risk into nearby buildings. For horizontal directional drilling crews, the problem rarely ends with a missing 811 call. The harder risk starts after the ticket exists: marks can be incomplete, depth can be unknown, records can conflict with field conditions, and schedule pressure can push a crew into a blind bore. The operating answer is clear: prove the crossing before you bore it. A crew cannot control every stale map, locator miss, or abandoned utility. It can control ticket quality, positive response, potholing, tracker-operator communication,…
Hail season in Colorado typically runs from April through September, with peak activity occurring in May and June. During these months, Denver-area homeowners face a significant risk of roof damage from hailstones that can range from pea-sized to softball-sized. Understanding how hail damages roofing materials and what steps to take after a storm can save thousands of dollars and prevent long-term structural problems. Unlike other types of weather damage, hail impact can be deceptive. While some damage is immediately obvious—such as holes punched through shingles or dented metal flashing—much of the harm occurs beneath the surface. Hail bruising compromises the protective granule layer on asphalt shingles, accelerating deterioration and reducing…

Last verified: 12 May 2026. If your business trades with China or manages offshore Renminbi (CNH) cash flows, the most useful “RMB solution” is rarely a single product. It is usually a combination of account setup, remittance capability, foreign exchange execution, and liquidity management. This listicle focuses on DBS’ Singapore RMB solutions page and compares the four solution groups DBS highlights for corporates. Methodology: I used DBS’ official Singapore RMB solutions page as the primary source and added only closely related official DBS context where the source page explicitly pointed to broader capabilities. Quick Summary Best all-round starting point: RMB Business Multi-Currency Account — manage Offshore RMB (CNH) and up…
The lights flicker once. Then again. Computers reboot. Machines stop mid-cycle. Someone in the warehouse yells, “Did we lose power?” while another employee is already unplugging equipment like they’re starring in a disaster movie no one asked to join. And just like that, the entire workday changes direction. Commercial electrical failures rarely arrive politely. There’s usually no warning email. No gentle countdown clock. One overloaded panel, one aging breaker, one burning smell coming from a utility room nobody has thought about in eight years, and suddenly operations grind to a halt. For businesses, downtime gets expensive fast. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, power disruptions cost American businesses billions…
