You want to place a profile rail of a series of borings with the same distance.
Step 1: Set a boring, which is to be used as the pattern for the others.
Rotate the created contour via Cut rotation .
-> Intermediate result: The hole pattern has been inserted.
The creation of a rotated pattern corresponds to the method of creating a pattern with equal orientation (see above).
The starting basis for the following commentary is a boring that is to be duplicated 12 times.
Via the button Choose new pattern origin... set the pattern origin on the desired boring.
Via Generate sketch on selected face. set a new sketch for the pattern.
In this sketch, set the point of origin for the construction of the pattern at the same place as the point of origin in the other sketch is located.
While holding down the CTRL button, select the button Rotate selection .
Adjust the values in the input fields Number, Rotation point and Angle of rotation and confirm with .
In the History mark Cut extrude and the sketch, which contains the pattern (in this example Sketch 3) and in the context menu, click Create pattern .
--> The borings are multiplied according to the pattern.
In the sketch, delete the circle and replace it with a square.
The bore holes are now arranged in squares and circles (but still equally oriented).
Taking over patterns into the CAD system may be problematic. In ??? a warning may be issued for certain cases.
