Irregular Pattern

Irregular Pattern

Irregular Pattern

(OP)
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a pattern in which the distance between the patterned features alternates with each division? For example:

A pattern of holes with two rows and four columns, the distance between rows is 100mm, simple enough. The distance between columns is irregular e.g. the distance between column 1 and column 2 is 100mm, the distance between column 2 and column 3 is 50mm, and then between columns 3 and 4 is again 100.

It would be much appreciated if someone could shed some light on this.

Thanks.

Thanks, makes me feel stupid now after seeing how simple that was! :)

RE: Irregular Pattern

Like everything, it's only simple if you know how to do it - and I have to admit I've never really used pattern along curve, so I didn't realise how powerful it is.
Just shows how useful this forum is - thanks Don.
