"Linear Pattern" type assembly?

Hi,
So, for the purpose of this question, let's say I create a simple framing out of "2x4"s. (Two long 2x4s to which I want to attach other 2x4s @ CC60).
In part studio, it's easy to use "linear pattern" and sketch and create a "frame" of these parts.
Not only have I now created all the parts, but they already happen to be "assembled" in Part Studio.
How would I go about to:
a) Simply mate these parts as they are
b) Create the same frame out of the same, but "loose parts" - in Assembly?

- "Shift" key used from keyboard to select all part quickly.
- "Group" feature is helpful to fix all part in one stances exactly same position of part studio.
If your requirement is other than this kindly feel free to mention in forum.I did try to change the sketch a bit, and the assembly looked right afterwards, too.
This answers my first question very well! Thanks a lot!
@ethan: I'm not sure if you interpreted 'b)' in a way that made you write what you did, but I regard it as a good bonus anyway!
However, what I did mean though was that if the imported parts did not come neatly placed, and I needed to do a mate like above (such as "attach this 2x4 1/3rd in", or "every 60cm"), is this possible (or meaningful), or are incoming parts supposed to have some kind of geometry (?) intended for mating?
