Dimension to include number of instances in a Corner Set

Dimension to include number of instances in a Corner Set

If I have a sheet metal part which uses the Corner Round feature, when editing the feature in the .ipt I can see the number of instances of each size. For example, there might be 3 edges with 10mm radius as well as 5 edges with 20mm radius.

 

In the drawing (.dwg) of this part I would like to pull in the number of instances along with the radius on a dimension, so that it updates if I change the part. 

 

A typical dimension might read 'R10, 3 PLACES' or similar. However, currently we can't pull the number of instances through from the model, so I have to manually write the '3 PLACES'. Should the part then change, this value does not update.

 

Could the number of instances be included in the parameters somehow so that we can select it in the Format Text dialogue box, when editing a dimension?

Could you create the corner rounds with a punch? This could be counted ?

Adding something like this for regular (non-sheet metal) fillets and chamfers would be nice as well.
