Linear Pattern: specify direction with xyz coordinates

I want to do a Linear Pattern in a non trivial direction (3 dimensional diagonal direction). It has to be done by eye. I cant find a way to simply play with xyz values for the direction until it fits. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Create a helper sketch before. Then use sketch items to orient the pattern directions. After removing the dimensions from the pattern, you can constrain them to whatever you have.
What I mean is having what Transform provides in Linear Pattern, i.e. Translate by XYZ. Doesn't seem possible. I have to hack around creating 3D Fit Splines.
Can you share an example of what your trying to do? Methods and ideas might be different depending on what the goal is
