Make pattern dimensions and instance quantity parametric

Make pattern dimensions and instance quantity parametric

I am using HSMWorks within Solidworks.

 

I often use HSMWorks patterns to pattern a toolpath onto a set of features or parts that are already part of a linear pattern (a solidworks linear pattern).

 

I would like the HSMWorks pattern details (the X and Y dimensions and the number of instances) to be parametric - so that they can be driven by the Solidworks pattern data, or by any other variable or equation for that matter.

 

For example, if I had the X dimension of the HSMWorks pattern being driven by the Solidworks dimension, if I were to then change the dimensions of the Solidworks pattern, then the HSMWorks pattern would automatically update.
