using a formula for number of instances 1

[duncancat]

I want to use a fromula in the INSTANCES field of the RECTANGULAR PATTERN DEFINITION panel.

The result I want in the INSTANCES field is the length of a pad (no problem adding this), divided by 44.45 and then rounded down to the nearest whole number.

I cant get it to work and would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi,

try this

round(PartBody\Sketch.1\Length.5\Length /44.45*1/1mm)

and change PartBody\Sketch.1\Length.5\Length to your lenght.

That worked great - thanks very much.
The problem I had was with the units, and dividing by mm to cancel them is very neat.
