Variable Text Pattern

[CR_9888056]

Is there a way to create a Variable Text Pattern? I have cosmetic text that I have patterend but I need to change each of the number values.

For example, if I have an alpha-numerical text that's been pattered 3 times, such as TB1..TB1..TB1

is there a way to change each number value to TB1..TB2..TB3?

I can't seem to find a way to change the value of each pattern instance.

Hi Cory R

Welcome 

First of all, can you tell us in which program you want to use this?
Did you read the following before posting your question?

You are here in the forums that pertain to Creo Elements Direct.
So it's either Creo Elements Direct Drafting or Creo Elements Direct Modeling/Annotation in which you can find help here.
Which one does it pertain to?
Both programs, although similar, have different features.
Your question is very general and does not show what you want to achieve.

How about some screenshots?

It seems pretty hard to direct my question to the appropriate area of the forum. Whenever I post questions on here, It doesn't give me a list choose from. Your just left guessing random words in hopes one them hits. Not sure why it's setup this way,

Anyway, I did find a way to use an Incremental Numerical Pattern method, Unfortunately it's very difficult to use. It involves using multiple parameters and relations to make it work and is way more work than it's worth. Hopefully someday PTC will put this function into Creo. 🙂
