    Hello everyone -

    I've watched so many V-Carve Pro tutorials over the last 3 weeks, they are beginning to blur together. Would someone be so kind to point me to the place to jog my memory, or provide instructions for something really simple? I've searched and pecked around but can't seem to figure out how to execute.

    I'm working on a project that requires a row of 3/16" holes to be drilled and each hole spaced apart at 9/16" from center. I've got the 3/16" part of the equation but need help with the spacing.

    As always, thanks in advance for your help.

    Robert

    I think you go to the draw circle selection and input where you want it according to your xy zero. I chose the lower left.

    Then keep changing where you want them. I spaced them by 20mm. Fractions hurt my brain. the first was 10 x 20. the second was 30x 20, the third is shown as 50 x20 (picture below).

    You can also try to the Array Copy tool just make sure you use the offset toggle as the distance.

    That was much better advice. I just tried it. Thanks. I have always used Fusion 360 for making holes because it is fairly easy to replicate a pattern, but that was easier.
