Hi,
Is it possible to transform/copy a part to multiple mate connectors at once? I only seem to be able to do it one by one?
And if possible to select multiple mate connectors, can you also account for configurations where you can have more (or less) mate connectors to appear (depending on the configuration made) eg copy to all mate connectors created by a certain feature or features? example: pattern to mate connectors | Part Studio 1 (onshape.com)
thanks!

If the point pattern doesn't offer quite enough control, you can also use the excellent "Transform Pattern" FS:

Try the "Point Pattern" custom feature.

Hi @ImpulsePD good Idea. tried that. But I can't fix the the orientation of the "tool" part to the orientation of the mate connector somehow? Or am I missing something?

keep in mind this is actually a simplified version of the real part.(which I can't share) in which parts are added to a curved surface (and oriented normal to).
thanks again for the help! But not quite there..

@stvnvl_8501 Correct. Point pattern won't work in that case, but it looks like @eric_pesty got you taken care of.
