I am trying to find a way to have Hole Wizard drive the number of holes in a part based on overall length(see attached image).
I would like add an equation to a pattern that will drive part count (Z) by overall length (X) so that the spacing (Y) is between 12.000 and 16.000.
I have to believe that other people have tried something similar?
Addtionally, I would like to drop this into a Library Feature and was wondering if that would cause any issue?
Bryan,
You don't need to write an equation, just use the option "Up to Reference" under linear pattern.
There is an example of this here: SWW18 Presentation - All The Small Things
Save you a ton of time!

EDIT: for my example, I created a plane that was offset from the end of the part to use as the "reference" for the pattern.
2nd EDIT: Download the sample files and look for the room assembly, I used this technique to place the 2x4's in the walls.
