Staggered_Pattern.JPG

Hello,

I need help on how to create the above staggered hole pattern within a known dia.

I thought I might be able to do it with Pattern / Fill but couldn't figure a way to get he correct spacing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

One way would be to create two hole patterns. Based on the dimensions you have given I don't think you're going to be able to use the fill pattern type.

It is possible to do it with a pattern command. Please have a look at the picture below and the command menu for the right pattern selection.

Sciyer26,

I tried that technique, but I end up with the same horizontal and vertical spacing.

Try enlarging the image (Click on it) attached in my earlier reply. I do not have proe open on my screen. Observe the TYPE of FILL Pattern used. The Dimensions, 10 and 5 are derived dimensions. The input dimension is [(10/2) * sqrt (2)] which happens to be the diagonal dimension as shown. I shall try to include a model later.
