How to linear pattern text that increases the value from variable

I have made this nut size test for M5, M4, M3 lock nuts

In order to make all the other 9 hex holes in that row I used a linear pattern along with an increasing variable of step size = 0.05 mm

What I would like to do know is to add text on the side that describes the dimension of the inscribed circle used to make that hex hole, such that a person can read it from the 3D print and know which size to use.

However, I can't seem to linear pattern the sketch of the text, looks like you can only do a feature pattern. I was wondering, what would be the easiest way to achieve this? To have every hex hole have its dimension next to it, is there a way to pattern it and have the dimension increase along the M5 variable? Such that if I change the size of the hex holes the text automatically updates

Thank you in advance.
