Change Pattern

[Matteo_1987]

Goodmorning everyone,
is it possible to release a series after it has been made in such a way as to modify every single feature that has been created with the same series?
As you can see in the attachment I have made a series of numbers.
I would need to release the series in order to change the number.
Or is there a way to do this?

ty,

In the past when I've made scales like this to indicate angles, positions, etc. I wanted something like this, too.

In the end I was only able to define the scales with a sketch that defined all the tic marks, and individual TEXT definitions for labels. It's tedious, but then again, it's not the only such limitation I've had to deal with.

This is really cool. Next time I need to make a scale on a piece of equipment I'm going to come looking for this so I can make it the smart way, not as a dumb feature.

It is possible for Creo to do this. The key concept is to use a parameter defined in a feature relation for each text value in the pattern. This relation needs to precede the pattern feature so that it can be used when generating the pattern. @MartinHanak  provided relevant references to see how to do it.
