Fill Pattern Instance Count

You can get an instance count for the number of instances in a fill pattern for use in annotations and equations.

The software calculates the number of instances in a fill pattern and displays that number in the graphics area when pattern dimensions are displayed. You can use the instance count in a custom property and link it for annotations and equations. The number is not editable or configurable.

The instance count is helpful for calculating open and closed volumes, conveying information to machinists, or determining a quantity based on a desired aesthetic.
