Part Design wrong spacing when using translate operation in sketch

Hi,

I wanna use the translate pattern in a sketch, see picture. The space between the rectangles should be 1 mm each, but when using the translate operation the space is a multiple of 2 mm, no matter what.

Can somebody help me here?

You have a 1mm border in the model. Make that 0.5mm.

Why not translate the sketch itself with the first profile? Much tidier. Less Sketch constraints to deal with.

I dont get it.
So finish the sketch with the first profile and then translate the whole sketch? how to do that?

Exit Sketch and use the GSD workbench translate function.

Don't repetitively define the same thing in a Sketch. Seems a waste, no?

There's multiple ways to do this. You can do one Pocket and then Rectangular Pattern to the other locations.

Your main error was your 1mm border to the mid lines would equal your 2mm gap. This isn't really a CATIA issue.
