Spiral Assembly Pattern?

Spiral Assembly Pattern?

Spiral Assembly Pattern?

(OP)
I have a round plate with a hole offset from the center that I'd like to (let me try to explain this) stack and rotate at the same time. Sort of like when you take a stack of napkins and twist the pile so it looks nice lol.. Anyhow, I think I'm on the right path but I can't seem to get it right. The plate is .01 thick and needs to occupy a total thickness of .3 but the total overall rotation should only be 51 degrees. Can anyone take a lood at this and help me out? Thank you much

RE: Spiral Assembly Pattern?

i had a look at your assembly and the part in question. a bit tricky to see what you want to do. where does the 51 degrees come in? It looks like you are on the right track with a spiral arrangement of holes. What is your issue here?
(personally I would have created this object in another plane and rotated and spiralled the profile...each his own;))
 ps is there a start datum for the holes?
