Retrieving a sketch pattern instance.

In a big sketch I accidentally removed an important instance of a linear sketch pattern.
How can I retrieve that instance?

Another thing you could try, (Create a version before you start though)
Set your sketch pattern instance count 1 less than your missing instance, then set it back to your finial instance count.
Depending on what features on your tree that reference the other patterned instances, you may need to fix them. It will come down to what ever is the quicker fix5

otherwise check your version history and recover it from there

Thank you for your quick answer.
Earlier I tried to decrease the number of instances (7) by one and two. That dit not work.
A few minutes ago decreased it to 4 and set it back to 7. That worked. Don't ask me why but the problem is solved.
It only sees once instance at a time when increment/decrement, increment will always create one instance at the end, decrement will always delete an instance from the end (if exists).
So by going one less that the missing one you guarantee it will add the missing instance back in.
