Pattern of incremental text

SW

New member
I need to model a pattern of incremental text, like on a ruler.
When inserting text into a sketched section, you can use a parameter as the input
to the text. Is it possible to use the capability to make the number increase incrementally
with the pattern instance?
 
I'm totally clueless but it sounds interesting...

Sounds like you'd need a relation to load the pattern index id or maybe something like a (make up a name) fid_this.instance into the parameter. Don't know if there's a way to do that. Sounds like a lot for a sketcher relation, probably create a circular reference(?).

What I am thinking is that you might ask in the programming forum. Maybe there's a way to do a transform copy in a FOR() loop or something like that instead of a pattern.
