Create a variable pitch pattern using the deform tool in Solidworks

In my previous two videos I had been trying to figure out a reliable and fairly straight forward way of using a sketch ‘graph’ to control the pitch of a pattern. In this video I have figured out a way to ‘remap’ a control surface containing the pattern pitch/instance spacing, on to another curve, without having to capture dimensions as global variables as I did in the previous video. This technique seems fairly robust so far; I hope it proves to be useful to anyone who watches this! Cheers, Andrew.
