linear/circular sketch pattern

[ijk]

Hello everyone,
I've just started seeing solidworks and so far I've sprayed the functions of the sketch environment.
I think I have not understood the editing of the functions in question.
when creating for example a circular pattern sw allows with the dragon to move the center of the pattern to the desired position by making it even if necessary coincide with other points of the sketch, but in madness edit this does not seem anymore possible; Moreover in the first field under parameters I find written point-1 that does not indicate the point from me selected during the creation of the pattern (the point I selected had another name!) and if I try to select the field first and then to choose a new point of the sketch as center of the pattern the selected point ends in the field of entities to be repeated with a completely unexpected result. similar problems related to directions I also found them in the linear pattern.
I find it difficult to modify and manage the center (for circular) and the directions (for the linear) of these commands respectively.
How to operate?

What's the point of writing command names or program specifications in English? not that you do not understand, but makes reading less fluid.
instead of sewing randomly you should do the tutorials to understand the logic and procedures of the program.
the repetitions of the sketch are, if possible, to avoid as not performing and prefer the function repetition that are much more flexible. a sketch must be as simple as possible to exploit even the parameterity (in a sketch with hundreds of entities the parameterity is complicated to get)
for the record repetitions you can very well edit just right-click on one of the entities and choose repeat change
I will not say that there is also written on the guide, but it is written ( always press the question mark on the top of the feature manager) http://help.solidworks.com/2016/ita...b03b6e1cb431ffa#pg0&producttype=&productname=

Hello Massivonweizen,
Thank you for your answer.
I write them in English because I'm following a written guide in English, so I'm more comfortable having the sw interface in English.
even if I used the term spulciare, I'm not randomly sewing. I am following a guide that obviously started from the environment that first goes assimilated that is the sketch.
as you have rightly highlighted, even the guide advised me to simplify the sketches and use the pattern functions in the 3d scope rather than those in the sketch, but these I will see them later.
for now I was interested in ending the functions of the sketch and understanding the logic of patterns in the sketch beyond the more or less complex sketch speech. How to get into edit pattern I know already, but as I wrote above what I don't understand well is how to make then change the center of the pattern (in case for example of the circular pattern) since moving the center using the drag seems not to work and if instead you select directly a point of the sketch as a new center (as soon as the field where there is written point-1) I get that point is added in the field entity to be repeated and it is obviously not what I wanted.
the meaning of point-1 is not clear to me: if in the phase of the first creation of the circular pattern I selected a specific point as center, when I change pattern I expect to find in that field the name of the selected point previously and not point-1 of which I ignore the meaning.
Thank you in advance who wants to clarify this function of the sketch.

if you use a sketch point it seems that it is not possible to change the origin of rotation.
however it is possible to do so if you draw other entities (for this need with construction line), then selecting the center of the circle, the end of a line, the vertex of a rectangle, will be changed the origin of rotation.
as said the sketch repetition is not performing and perhaps for this not developed optimally.

point-1 is a fictitious name, each entity has geometric references that the program recognizes by giving it a progressive coding (a line will have a line name and two point names). when during modeling selects a solidworks entity binds to its encoding to bind it to the rest of the model. (if you draw a rectangle and extrude it and then do a sketch that binds to the previous one on one of the sides, if returning to the first sketch deletes the side and remake the next sketch will give you error because the name entity has changed)

Hello Massivonweizen,
Thanks for the answer.
Fortunately in the 2017 version after creating a circular repetition in the sketch, the rotation center is displayed which can be dragged and bound to other entities without having to enter repeat mode, so the problem I think is solved so.
regarding point-1 that I find in the first field under repeating parameters circular the problem I mentioned earlier consists of this: If they select in phase of creation of the circular repetition a point that sw appointed for example point 7, when I enter in modality in that field I expect to find written point-7 and instead remains always and anyway point-1 not making me understand that the center of rotation is point 7.
as you mentioned earlier, I also believe that the function has not yet been developed well and if possible better avoid it, preferring a "manual" construction if you need repetitions to the hymn of a sketch.

in more than ten years of use I never had to be forced to use the sketch repetition.
function repeats are so flexible and performing to cover 90% of need
