Hole Pattern over Continuous Solid Surface

Hello everybody

I am a Creo 4 user and I am trying to pattern holes onto a continuous solid surface but I want the holes to be perpendicular to the surface. I went ahead and created a curve that follows the pattern that I want the holes to lie on. I patterned a group containing a point on that curve with a hole at that point perpendicular to the surface.

The issue I am running into is that this process should be able to be done on the continuous surface but Creo recognizes them as individual surfaces and therefore needs to be broken up into different patterns to correspond to to the Creo defined surfaces. I was wondering if there is a way to have these holes iterated onto these surfaces (while being perpendicular to the surfaces) in a pattern or other form of iterative command 

Many thanks
