Hole Patterns
Hole Patterns
(OP)
Morning All,
Apologies if this has been answer, but couldn't find anything. I'm doing a hole pattern, and like anything i have two c/bores and two dowel holes. Is there anyway to put a diagonal pattern in? For example my drawing show 1 hole positioned from an edge (datum hole), then one hole positioned at 30mm in X and then 45mm in Y (so a diagonal movement) and the same on the dowels. But i can't seem to find a way. I can suppress the two unwanted holes, but my customer doesn't allow suppressed features.
I know I could rotate the WCS, but there's obviously the calculations that go with it, and when you get angles of 36.5000978 it's not ideal
Any help would be great!
Cheers

Picture attached. I've created seperate holes in this instance, but you can see what i'm trying to acheive.

For that particular shape you could use a circular array. See attached.

Again thanks for that little tip.
