Question

Number of instances in a SKETCH/POINT pattern

Hello, I am trying to find a way to reference the number of instances in a sketched pattern on the drawing parametrically, however I can't locate how to do it.  Creo clearly stores the number, as when I look at the feature information, it says that the sketch is the leader of a (X x X) general pattern, as shown in my attachment, but I can't figure out how to reference this number.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I would like this to update the drawing automatically if any changes are made.

 

EDIT:  I have attached a reference file as well.

There is a pattern dim within the pattern feature with the # of instances. You can reference this on the drawing by inserting the parameter name.

Note that this is for a sketched pattern, meaning that the pattern is driven off of points in a sketch.  As such, when I look at the dimensions of the feature, there is no "pattern" dim.

Use the edit dimension tool to display your model pattern dimensions, the Tools and Switch parameters to show the parameter names instead of the values. Use these for your references.
