in an parts assembly we have patterns of equal parts and in the import process of parts assembly from external providers (neutral format as iges or step), a pattern of 8 parts, creo import it as 8 different parts.
how can we make it better? we need to change something in the config .pro or Creo import patterns only from specific neutral files?
I think that interchange formats do not include computed positions for components - therefore no patterns. There should be only one part model located 8 times. You can look in the STEP file with a text editor to see what it contains.
Try to recreate the pattern.
Maybe creating a sketch with points, then delete the references, delete the components, leaving just one. Create a pattern by points.
