2.5.8.2.5. Pattern features

During export pattern features are generated.

Features in particular:

Sweep feature ("ruled") patterns are recognized as such.
Patterns created from positive features will now also be recognized (only for the "place on circular edge" strategy for now).
Support for non-rectangular linear pattern arrays.
Unneeded feature instances will now be deleted instead of suppressed, so that only the features specified in the ps3 will be present in the resulting model.

The figure shows a pattern of "ruled" features. You can also see that unneeded patterns have been removed.

"Sweep patterns" can only be created with the new pattern features.

	Note
If instances are placed in a pattern, then while inserting parts a query appears, whether the part shall be inserted in the selected instance or in the pattern (meaning all instances of the pattern). Any hole can be selected and the screw is placed in all instances.
