Pattern Feature and increasing number

Pattern Feature and increasing number

Pattern Feature and increasing number

(OP)
Hi,

I have an old grip program that pattern symbol and increase the number like the below image




I need to replace it with standard function.
I tried to use pattern feature, but I can't find the way to increase the value in Text(2) to 1, 2, 3 ...
So I found a trick by adding an arc in the sketch and a perimeter constraint (perimeter_p90=1)
and text2=ug_askExpressionValueAsString( Perimeter_p90, "%g" )
It works well in tools expression

But the expression text2 is not updating in the pattern



Thanks in advance for any suggestion
