Pattern of group with feature dimension variation

I am trying to create a packaging tray, but the usable space just isnt quite big enough to fit my originally designed part pocket.

The pattern is set up in horizontal rows and vertical columns

The feature(s) being patterned is a group of extrudes and draft.

I determined that if I shrink the finger clearance on the top and bottom parts of the pattern by about .100" that I can make columns of 10, which works perfect.

Now I cant remember if or how I can do this within the pattern (I dont utilize special patterns very often).

But I seem to remember that you can vary a dimension of something being patterned, but I dont remember if you can only do it to certain members of the pattern. In my case the bottom row and the top row of the pattern.

Thanks

You could do that with a dimension pattern to get it close to what you want, and then convert it to a table pattern to make the tweaks to the top and bottom.
