Repeat a Component Across Varying Spans
-
Greetings,
I'm familiar how to repeat a component every X inches, for example, using Position X = 0 +COPY*36, but I was wondering if anyone is familiar with how to space the copies across spans that vary in length based on user input.
My idea was the following:
- Allow users to define the LenX of "Span0", "Span1", "Span2", etc. via text box.
- Set Span2!X, for example, equal to Span0!LenX + Span1!LenX.
- Set CopiedComponent!X equal to Span(COPY)!X, so that the instance of the Span being referred to is defined by the Copy number.
I've been trying it using the formula ="Span"©&"!X, but I'm not getting correct results.
Am I using the correct syntax in the formula? If that won't work is another way to accomplish it?
Thank you!

use conditional statements
for X attribute, =if(copy=1, span1)+ if(copy=2, span1+span2)....
