Linear Pattern
The
Linear
Pattern option is available from the
Hole Pattern Icon
menu.
This option enables you to specify a linear pattern of holes in a face window. When you select the Linear Pattern option, the Linear Pattern dialog is displayed. After entering parameters in the dialog, a linear pattern of holes is displayed in the face window.
No. Holes on Line (N) — Enter the number of holes in the pattern.
X Start (X) — Enter the X starting coordinate for the first hole in the pattern.
Y Start (Y) — Enter the Y starting coordinate for the first hole in the pattern.
Point, Angle — When selected, the hole pattern is created based on the starting location and angle entered in the dialog.
Pitch (Q) — Enter the pitch of holes in the pattern from the X, Y starting point.
Angle — Enter the angle of holes in the pattern from the X, Y starting point.
Start, End — When selected, the hole pattern is created based on the starting and ending locations entered in the dialog.
X End (I) — Enter the X coordinate of the ending location for the pattern.
Y End (J) — Enter the Y coordinate of the ending location for the pattern.
Circular Pattern
The
Circular Pattern option is available from the
Hole Pattern Icon menu.
This option enables you to specify a circular or arc-shaped pattern of holes in a face window. When you select the Circular Pattern option, the Circular Pattern dialog is displayed. After entering parameters in the dialog, a nested grid pattern of holes is displayed in the face window.
No. Holes (N) — Enter the number of holes in the pattern.

Full Circle — When selected, a circular pattern of holes is created.
Frame Pattern
The
Frame Pattern option is available from the
Hole Pattern Icon
menu.
This option enables you to specify a rectangular pattern of holes in a face window. When you select the Frame Pattern option, the Frame Pattern dialog is displayed. After entering parameters in the dialog, a rectangular pattern of holes is displayed in the face window.
No. Holes in X (N) — Enter the number of holes in the pattern in the X (horizontal) direction.
No. Holes in Y (M) — Enter the number of holes in the pattern in the Y (vertical) direction.
X Start (X) — Enter the X starting coordinate for the first hole in the pattern.
Y Start (Y) — Enter the Y starting coordinate for the first hole in the pattern.
X Length (I) — Enter the total length of horizontal holes from the center of the first hole to the center of the last hole.
Y Length (J) — Enter the total length of vertical holes from the center of the first hole to the center of the last hole.
Grid Pattern
The
Grid Pattern option is available from the
Hole Pattern Icon
menu.
This option enables you to specify a rectangular grid pattern of holes in a face window. When you select the Grid Pattern option, the Grid Pattern dialog is displayed. After entering parameters in the dialog, a grid pattern of holes is displayed in the face window.
No. Holes on Line (N) — Enter the number of holes in the pattern.
No. Lines (M) — Enter the number of lines of holes in the pattern.
X Start (X) — Enter the X starting coordinate for the first hole in the pattern.
Y Start (Y) — Enter the Y starting coordinate for the first hole in the pattern.
Point, Angle — When selected, the hole pattern is created based on the starting location and angle entered in the dialog.
Pitch (Q) — Enter the pitch of holes in the pattern from the X, Y starting point.
Offset (D) — Enter the offset distance for each line of holes in the pattern.
Angle (A) — Enter the angle of holes in the pattern from the X, Y starting point.
Start, End — When selected, the hole pattern is created based on the starting and ending locations entered in the dialog.
X End (I) — Enter the X coordinate of the ending location for the pattern.
Y End (J) — Enter the Y coordinate of the ending location for the pattern.
Nested Grid Pattern
The
Nested Grid Pattern option is available from the
Hole Pattern Icon
menu.
This option enables you to specify a rectangular nested grid pattern of holes in a face window. When you select the Nested Grid Pattern option, the Nested Grid Pattern dialog is displayed. After entering parameters in the dialog, a nested grid pattern of holes is displayed in the face window.
No. Holes on Line (N) — Enter the number of holes in the pattern.
No. Lines (M) — Enter the number of lines in the pattern.
X Start (X) — Enter the X starting coordinate for the first hole in the pattern.
Y Start (Y) — Enter the Y starting coordinate for the first hole in the pattern.
Point, Angle — When selected, the hole pattern is created based on the starting location and angle entered in the dialog.
Pitch (Q) — Enter the pitch of holes in the pattern from the X, Y starting point.
Offset (D) — Enter the offset distance for each line of holes in the pattern.
Angle (A) — Enter the angle of holes in the pattern from the X, Y starting point.
Start, End — When selected, the hole pattern is created based on the starting and ending locations entered in the dialog.
