Can I multiply space in pattern / loop based on iteration?

If I wanted to create something like a guitar neck, the frets are spaced out differently based on what fret number is placed.  They will get closer together as you go down the neck.  Is it possible in fusion to create a pattern based on a formula which references which number in the pattern it is on?  I can drive this operation in OpenSCAD for instance using a for loop and referencing the loop variable within the equation.  Can fusion 360 do something similar? If so, how?

It looks like I can write a script to do what I want, but I’m still looking for an easier way if there is one.

If you use a Move command (hint: don't use free move, use translate), the move command is captured in the parameters dialog.

You could define a parameter for the spacing for each fret and build that into the parameters dialog with a move command.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks,
