I'm looking to pattern holes 10mm apart that will follow a curved sketch (Manually done on the second model). I've tried playing around with sketch driven pattern and curve driven pattern with no luck. any help would be appreciated.

Hi Daniel
Both Curve Driven and Sketch Driven Patterns should be able to do this. What problems did you have? Can you upload the model?
edit: here's an example

Create the fist hole as a feature. Sketch the curves you want the pattern to follow. When you create your curve driven pattern, click in the Direction 1 box (it should be already selected by default) select the sketch for the curves from the feature manager drop down, click in the features box and select the seed feature you created.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Guys, I noticed from Rob's feature tree that I was doing things in the wrong order Tony's explanation confirmed that. Thanks again.
