control pattern with parameter

[alikhan.ganayev]

I've been looking around the forum and I haven't quite found the answer. Let's say I have length 6310 mm and a pattern that I'd like the quanity for to increase with 1 each 80 mm. Basically I'm trying to control this pattern with increments of 80 mm. Inventor 22/Windows 10.

OK.  Create 3 user parameters to use.  "Length" = 6310 mm ; "Increment" = 80 mm ; "QTY" = floor(Length / Increment).

QTY will stay up do date automatically, because it is directly referencing the other two driving parameters.  I'm using 'floor()' to keep the quantity from going to the next increment when it is just a partial of the increment distance.

As always, this worked like a charm. Thank you.
