variable for pattern number return "enter a valid expression"

KarineM

Hi,

I have 2 variables #L and #A which are dimension in mm

#N is defined as floor(#L/#A) so it's an integer, and is defined as a number.

When I used #N in a sketch for defining a pattern number, I have an error "enter a valid expression".

Do you have an idea?

Thanks!

Ben

Hi Ben - you can't use variables to drive the instance count in a sketch pattern. See Kevin's reply here: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/2222/variables-in-patterns

You should use part, feature or face patterns where possible.

ok, thanks!
