Total Pattern Entities Extraction

[Brndn_4]

I apologize for the potentially misleading title, but I was having a hard time wording what I actually intend to do.

I would like to know if there is a way to identify the total number of entities in a pattern and have a parameter report that value so that it can be used on a drawing. Yes, I know you can see the dimensional value for the total number of entities in an ordinary situation, but mine involves excluding pattern instances. ("unticking" the black dots)

Example:

~> Create axis pattern of feature using 360/total
~> "Untick" some entities per design requirements
~> Report leftover number of entities as a parameter

The only way I can think to do this would be to find something in Pro/Program that assigns a name/string/value to the total number leftover (or total minus unchecked) and then write a line saying that a parameter equals that, but I have not found such a thing yet.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

What I wound up doing was taking the surface area of the part and divided it by the area of one entity. I then created a parameter that equals this value and added it to my drawing note wiht zero decimal places. I tried the most extreme variations of designs/patterns and even though things tend to change a good bit, the end result is as it should be.
