Hello there,

I am trying to make a variable pattern using a 'table' pattern. I have a part which I want to pattern 40 times but with different dimensions. I know I can do this:

!#Pro/TABLE

2 21
3 42
4 63
5 84
6 105
7 126

This pattern where distanve between the patterned parts is 21mm. But if I want to change one I have to change everything below. So my question is is it possible in Pro/Table to link one cell with another to make a function like you can do in excel? In this way I could do this:

!#Pro/TABLE

2 21
3 =B4+21
4 =B5+21
5 =B6+21
6 =B7+21
7 =B8+21

and then just change one number. I know that cells in Pro/Table have its own ID. The '=B4' is what you use in excel.

I know you can do this with 'direction' pattern but the distance between parts is not always 21.

I hope you can understand what I mean.
