I'm trying to sketch pattern the selected features in a very simple sheet metal part.
Unfortunately SW denies to finish the job.
The seed for sketch pattern is A sketch above selected features.
It seems that BrPattern is causing this problem. If I exclude BrPattern Everything's OK.
I think I have done this before, but I don't know why SW gives me error for this part.
Any kind of insight is much appreciated.
A sample file is attached.

The problem is your reference sketches for the patterns, you have a sketch point at the original hole location, only the instance locations need sketch points.
I deleted the points, which wasn't easy as you had dimensions and relations to them that had to be reconnected.

Re: Why Solidworks fails to sketch pattern these features?
It is future version for me , so i cant open it , but you need to be careful with sketch patterning library features.
I cant pattern library feature and sketch pattern at same time , BUT if i pattern library feature first and SW accepts it. than i can go back to edit that feature and add sketch pattern , and than it pattern them both.
Maybe few more questions , why dont u use one sketch pattern for everything? Sorry , i cant see file , but i dont understand why you have multiple pattern features.
One more point , i dont think you should include "Br SK" in your pattern.
I am sorry , my english is not so good , so maybe i completely misunderstood you .
I hope that my answer will get you some help.

In case of my problem maybe the following image can show you what I'm trying to do.
I have two Ø16.0 holes and one library feature (bR_M4). The library feature is sketch patterned (Red ellipse).
Now I'm trying to sketch pattern the Ø16.0 holes and both library feature with the green ellipse (A Sketch).
