linear pattern of sketch points? 1

[cmm]

Is it possible to make a linear pattern of sketch points, where I can control the spacing and number of instances with a design table? I know how to do this with features, but not sketch points.

Done it plenty. Just select a point in an active sketch and make a pattern (using sketch tools pattern, not feature pattern).

Got that, but how do I control a sketch tools linear pattern with a design table?

To be more specific, how do I control the number of instances with a design table?

hmmm...
Position is easy, just use dimensions.
Never had to control instances outside of the sketch.
Sorry.

You cannot control the quantity of instances in a Linear Step Sketch and Repeat Pattern from a DT. The only way is to RMB on an instance (while in the edit mode of a LSS&RP), select the Edit Linear Step and Repeat option, & change the quantity in the dialogue box.
