Dimensioning hole patterns
Dimensioning hole patterns
(OP)
When dimensioning a hole pattern i.e. 6 holes, 3 horizontally and 2 vertically in line with each other respectivly, is it appropriate to have 3x or 2x on the location dimensions for the holes when not using center lines?

1 set of X-Y dims to locate a corner hole, then a 3X dim for the vertical distance, and a 4X dim for the horizontal spacing. Why aren't you using centerlines?

On dim between the top 3 and bottom 3 holes would have 3x and the dim locating the 3 sets of verticle holes would have 2x on each. Sometimes too many centerlines can be confussing.
