Circular pattern change the assembly type
Hi all, I've noticed a strange behavior in assemblies :
Here is my assembly without circular pattern (Notice how the assembly is a "rigid group") :
And now with the circular pattern (It now has the same symbol as an assembly with moving parts !)
It seems strange because the part I'm using the pattern on is Fastened, so why are the pattern objects detected as moveable ? Also, it prevents this assembly from being grouped in the other assemblies I'm importing it in.

If the instance you're patterning is in a fixed position, the only reason why the circular pattern would create movable instances is when the geometry you're defining the central axis for the pattern with is movable.
Hi @jelte_steur814
I think I found out the problem : The axis I'm using is the origin, and when the assembly is inserted in another assembly, it keeps using the origin as reference !
