Make a variable pattern

Anonymous

Hello everyone,
I am looking for an option in fusion which would allow me to realize a pattern of a sketch but with the possibility to modify the size/ area / of the patterns results? (so to used a variable patterns tools)
Is it possible to do that in fusion?

Use dimensions and user parameters to change sizes.

Hello, 
Thanks for your answer but i don't really understand what you meant. Because when you do a pattern its not possible to modify the dimension of the patter objects without modify the first one...or maybe i just don't know how to do it...  ^^

The items in a pattern are clones of the first one.  Changing any of the items, clones or original, will change all of the items.  You can remove the pattern constraint and then edit each item, but you lose the parametric ability.

Hum yes and that what i want to keep, because i want to do a parametric conception with a variable pattern in it... I know that in SolidWorks it's possible to do that, which is why i was thinking it is possible to do the same in Fusion.. i found this Add In but it didn't work (well for me)..:  https://github.com/tapnair/Variable-Pattern
