Just wondering if someone can explain how to create a sequential alphanumeric linear Pattern array. I know how to pattern features, but I'd like to pattern a feature created with the Sketch Entity / Text tool. In other words, I'd like to make an array of extruded text such as "123 124 125" etc. An linear pattern of "A B C" etc. would also be helpful. If my attachment works, it shows where I was stumped, which was simply creating a pattern of an XXX placeholder.
Thanks.

If you want the Sketch pattern to numerically grow as you pattern it, then its not going to be through any functions within Solidworks. Sketch Text is just text that, it has no intelligence in it.
