Fill pattern which is often overlooked in favor of traditional linear and circular patterns allows you to select co planar faces or a bounding 2d sketch and fills that area with a pattern. This is typically done to add perforations to sheet metal parts. Accelerate your capabilities with solidworks standard patterning and validate count feature.

There are specific sheet metal features you can use to create sheet metal bodies quickly. This usually adds tens or hundreds of instances of a feature so as you can imagine the instance count is important because no one wants to sit there and count each perforation. Parameters control the pattern layout. However in some circumstances when the design requires certain types of geometry you can use non sheet metal feature tools then insert bends or convert the part to sheet metal.
