Step for reproduce: How to create parameter for Pattern feature / sampling

1. Step 1:

   Create model with holes (sampling-tool in 2 directions (ex. 5 right and 3 up=15))
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Set custom name for dimensions
   a. Select dimension
   b. RMB > Properties

   

3. Step 3:

   c. Select Tab Dimension Text and set custom name > Confirm OK
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Apply your custom names for all dimensions for Pattern feature
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Select Tools>Relations…
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Create new relation: Sum_of_holes=Number_of_holes_01*Number_of_holes_02 (where Sum_of_holes is new parameter into drawing) and confirm OK
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Create drawing and drawing view with dimension (You can use Show and erase functuionality)

8. Step 8:

   For diameter dimension of hole change the text to: (see the pictures)
   
   Where:
   &SUM_OF_HOLES – convert parameter to drawing note
   [.0] – set zero decimal placement for parameter
   @D – system create real number for dimension

   

9. Step 9:

   Confirm OK

10. Step 10:

    Note: if you change the number of hole for Pattern feature - system will change the information in the drawing automatically – parameter SUM_OF_HOLES is driven by relation
