I am trying to pattern a component in an assembly and skipdifferent instances between configurations. Does anyone know ifthis can this be done?

Also, I am driving a pattern on a part from a pattern in anassembly. The same instances need to be skipped between the partand the assembly. I am currently using equations to drive thespaces and number of instances between the part and the assemblywhich is working great. Can equations be used to link the instanceskipping property between parts and assemblies? Can a design tabledrive instance skipping in a pattern?

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks.SolidworksAssemblies
