Teach what you know- inventor issues to solving

The most angering thing for me in inventor was how to evenly space objects without killing time, and wanting to throw my fist through a computer. So after a while this site: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-general-discussion/pattern-component-for-unequal-spacing-or-alternate-idea/td-p/3694234 helped me find the tool component to set a rectangular pattern, and other types of patterns. My next struggle was how to actually use the tool. Luckily, Mrs. L's friend sent a video and it helped. Mrs. L obtains the video but basically the part has to be in a 3-D object form, not in sketch. Then you click the object and click a line to send it a direction. If not the desired way, there is a flip option. The click how many inches you'd like the parts to be. After that, press ok, and the pieces shall appear.

My partner, Pallavi, was attempting to figure out how to constrain objects while in assembly mode. She found a tutorial that helped her, and showed the different constraint options to put the objects together as one part.
