pattern multiple parts in an assembly with one pattern
Often, we need to pattern multiple parts around an axis; such as a pattern of bolts, lockwashers, and nuts around a pipe flange. Right now each item has to be patterned separately, unless it was created as a sub assembly.

In Pro/E your able to create one pattern and then if you for example add a new compont a nut then your able to chosse pattern and then you can chosse ref. pattern that would referance to the first pattern the bolt..
So but this you would get the nut to follow the bolt pattern..
Can we have something simullar here..? -

Would be very helpful, especially for bolts and nuts.

This cannot be that hard to implement, it is sorely needed. I would place it above assembly cuts, but that's just my opinion.
