Ok, so once you have the plate and extruded one hole with selecting this last feature (the extrude of the hole), clic on pattern tool/select axis type/select a axis of the center plate/expand dimension tab/

/look that, i select direction 2 and the dimension of the diameter(in red)/enter the value of increment (0.5).

We need a little more detail about what you are trying to do. In ProE a Variable Pattern has a specific technical definition relative to Identical and General Patterns. This may not be what you mean.

Yes, David is right, for many applications we normally have used a pattern dimension type, Irfan if you want for example a pattern of holes with variable diameter you specify the "dimension" which has the value of the diameter for increase or decrease.

I hope it is useful.
