Default Solidworks equation for array??

I am trying to make an assembly of a railing panel that I can enter an overall width and it will automatically equally space balusters to not exceed a predetermined distance between balusters. It is WAY TO EASY to do this in Inventor but it seems Solidworks doesn't do it. Any help would be appreciated.

You can do this in SW but i dont really have the experience with it. Look up DriveWorks in the help file. I believe thats what it was called. I dont have SW at home so i cant look it up, sorry.

Dunno what drive works has to do with it but I did figure it out. For those that don't know, you can't link array properties in a sketch but you can link them after you create an array feature by double clicking the dimensions.
