How do you populate a table with a pattern table feature

How can I populate table using dimensions from a pattern table? All Csys are in a pattern table. I am using Creo 7.0.5.0

Enclosed is a Creo 7 part and drawing for reference. This is not the only way to do this, but it is the most robust IMO for most scenarios. There is a pattern of csys features in the model.  Note that I have created a measure analysis feature to get the offset values relative to the reference csys you want to measure from, this will account for the negative values if there are any and avoid the "incorrectly" signed (+/-) values associated with pattern parameter values. I only filled the table for the first 3 csys features.

Note the table display:

Syntax required to use the measure value parameter from the analysis feature FID_XXX is the feature ID and is unique:

I assume you are wanting to populate a drawing table, but this is not explicitly stated in your post. All dimensions from the pattern table are available for use via relations or parameter names of the dimensions.

 

In drawing mode Creo will only display a single instance of a dimension within the drawing, so it may not be possible to show the dimension in a view and in a table in the drawing simultaneously. If that is your problem, create a parameter for each table entry and assign the dimension value to the parameter, then you can use it (parameter name) in a table.

 

If this is not the issue, then elaborate on what hurdle you are facing.

I would like to create a table on a dwg that will populate with the dimensions of the coordinates show in the attached image. All the coordinates are center points for arcs that define a curve used as a profile for the part.

I am still making assumptions based on your description as the problem statement is incomplete. You are leaving out most of the information needed to definitively generate a viable solution. Post the model to avoid having to write a treatise on what the constraints are. If you are not able to post the model, then you need to be more specific about the data structures involved.

 

How were the csys shown in your picture created? Are they all datum csys features? Were they created in sketch or part mode?
