Learning Onshape and got stuck creating a patten for a Solidworks sample test problem.

I could not create a sketch pattern that held when changing variable A value. I presume its obvious but just can't see it.

Your document isn't public so we can't see it...

Here's one way to do it:

Piece of cake. Share your doc.

I did a workaround to make it work. Within the sketch I manually added a configuration measuring the distances between patterns instances.  However, I'm hoping you will show a more elegant solution!

Also having problems with another sample test that requires configurations. Happy to post image of the sample test and doc.

Thanks Eric. I hadn't done the obvious, which was to constrain the linear pattern.
