A Variable in a sketch pattern

sergei_nesterov

Is it possible to set a variable for the pattern copies number ? I tried it, but I kept getting the error.
The formula I used to calculate the number of holes::   round( (#beamLenght-#perfAside)/#perfDist )

not at all a solution for the problem, but you can do it with a linear pattern feature, I would say that you are creating the circles to makes holes, make de first one and then do a linear pattern feature re creating the faces that the hole creates.

Good answer! It works!

You cannot use a variable for sketch pattern instance count.
You will need to use a feature pattern if you want to use a variable.
