Thanks for the reply. Right, it's not possible to make patterns with zero components. I have some component patterns in an assembly that are driven by parameters which, depending on certain dimensions, may cause the number of elements to be reduced to zero, resulting in an error ("out of range", see below, Fig. 1, circled in red*). I wish to automatically suppress the errored "zero-element" component patterns. I hope that makes more sense now.

 

I was hoping that the the Count property that @WCrihfield suggested would catch the value of my parameter as being zero (see example in Fig. 2) and the rule would then suppress all "zero-element" patterns. Perhaps an error trigger could be used if the zero Count wouldn't work? Thanks for considering.
