I have a simple hole, that I want to pattern through a sketch. So I used a (Skeleton Sketch) part to set this pattern up, so I can populate it properly to different parts & assembly features.
Now I made an assembly feature & cut a hole at one spot of this pattern (screenshot, red arrow).
Next I used the sketch driven pattern feature within that assembly to pattern the hole with the sketch on the (Skeleton Sketch) part and voila, the pattern shifts the holes by the length of a construction line, that is/was present within that sketch.
Why is that? Sometimes it works flawlessly, sometimes I have those weird shifts through a sketch pattern. What does SolidWorks do, that it behaves this unpredictable? The weirdest thing is, that on another assembly, that looks the same, it behaves as expected (hole aligns with sketch points (centroid).
The only difference I can see is that I drew the sketch in a different order. Could that be it? Why?
Wait a bit i think something wrong here…
I am using SOLIDWORKS 2017 too
I am assuming your Sketch Pattern 1 should produce some pattern but it is not, and it could not produce pattern with reference point too

But the new Sketch Pattern 2 i create have no issue, even with centroid it is showing a correct result
Interestingly they have the same selection…
How do you create the Sketch Pattern 1?

How?
I created another sketch pattern now & it fails too!
