Any hints ?

    @jerome_goyet , No because currently in Onshape pattern to spline entity in sketch is not available. You can raise ticket for this issue. We hope Onshape will provide this facility in future.
    Currently you can use work-around by making that spline to solid or surface then perform pattern operation by selecting spline part or surface and join them with the help of Boolean operation available in pattern.

    Yes I found that patterning a spline didn't work but haven't raised a ticket yet, might have to. @viru good workaround with the extrude surface but not ideal should be able to do this from the sketch.

    I see this was written in 20015, this is 2018 and I still can't pattern a spline.
    Am I missing something?

    Hi @ben_partouch

    You can help us prioritize this by voting on the associated Improvement Request:
    https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/7925/circular-pattern-a-spline

    In the meantime, can you make a solid or surface and use a Pattern feature rather than a sketch pattern?

    It is 2022, and we still can't pattern a spline

    No, but there is a simple workaround, draw a spline, pattern a number of points then copy- transform the spline.

    You can also pattern an entire sketch, which can be helpful depending what you are trying to do...

    And you can pattern a curve. Make a composite curve from a sketched spline, and then you can pattern it.

    It's 2024 and we still can't pattern a spline... I'll try to open a ticket as it feels ridiculous not to be able to do this simple task.
