Use Variables with Linear & Circular Pattern ?

Use Variables with Linear & Circular Pattern?

I need to use a variable to tell the sketch how many pieces to pattern.
Looks like the part pattern will allow this but not the sketch patterns.

    @cache_river_millworks You're correct that variables can be used within a part pattern, a face pattern, or a feature pattern, but not within a sketch pattern.

    See my response to this question another thread for a technical explanation why. This is a current limitation of of Onshape, so right we recommend you arrange things so you can use a part, face, or feature pattern instead.
