Hexagon Pattern of Circles with the help of Driven Dimensions - Fusion 360

This is a workflow for a hexagon/triangle pattern of circles.
Using the now added possibility of using driven dimensions outside of the sketch they are from.

As always, a brilliant example and a brilliant commntary.

Thank you :)

Had to stop the video at 3:30 to say excellent example of setting up the parameters and naming them the way you did to make them very clear!

Thank you. Some small time spent but can save a lot of headache.

- Nice, as usual :) - And yes, driven dimensions now accessible anywhere (not just in source sketch) is a good thing :) - QUICK TIP: SELECTING COORDINATE PLANE FOR SKETCH: --- Simply invoke 'Create Sketch' (incidentally, I created hotkey), then hover cursor around center of viewport not on geom: coord planes will highlight, then click. --- Easier yet, click desired ortho view on 'View Cube'; invoke 'Create Sketch', then click anywhere in viewport not on geom (note: again, coord plane highlights). - OK, carry on :) ...

Great video as always. if you wanted full circles only how would you do it? I'm pretty sure you've coverd this before but I don't remember which video.

I did hexagons in that one but you can combine the workflows. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6LKi5qAfshgmtUsi=cc64XC2uSO3jr8Lm

Wow, I have seen so many videos where the designer is individually erasing the pattern outside the frame/design what a waste of time, I will be returning to this video many times for a refresher course!

If you want another way of limiting the pattern have a look at this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6LKi5qAfshgmtUsi=lyNqAJMKf4DovS8O (That workflow will be slower and more computationally heavy for Fusion, but produces an interesting outcome)
