Hello All,

I am new to Solidworks, having come from IronCAD (i can hear theguffaws already!) I am trying to do an offset pattern on a simpleextruded cut.  The spacing for the holes is 86mm across, and76mm up, with column being staggered

The only way that i got it to work was to do a linear pattern at43mm across and 76mm up, and then selecting every second instanceto skip (just lucky there weren't hundreds!)

The only other way i got near, was to do a fill area pattern, butit only seems to give a stagger angle, and the 86mm 76mm spacinggives an ugly angle.

Surely there is an easy way to do this.

Cheers from Australia !!!
