Draft OrthoArray

User chrisb recently wrote: "The PartDesign patterns are not yet as optimized as their Draft counterparts. So for a bigger number of instances Draft OrthoArray is currently the way to go." This is not the case since Draft OrthoArray is designed to pattern everything, no matter if sketches or parts. The PartDesign pattern is only to pattern feature of a body. So as for all other PartDesign features, it is only working within a body and this works well. For future, user realthunder is working to extend that PartDesign can handle more than one body. However, for now the pattern feature is as powerful as it can be. --uwestoehr (talk) 23:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
