NFS rectangular hole patern problem

[fusion]

Ron, I am having trouble with the rectangular hole pattern. I set the spacing to an array 2" x 2" spacing 6 holes in X and 2 in Y.  See attached picture.

Here is the code I get:

The X dimensions are not right

I dont see whats wrong. You asked for 6 holes, starting at X=1, and made the starting point the upper left corner. That causes the holes to spread out to X3.

Did you expect teh minus value for width to cause the part to be to the left? To do that set the start point as the upper right corner.

Nope,
I wanted the first X dimension to be a X=1, and that was OK.  If the X spacing is 2, then the next holes should be at X=3,5,7,9,11.  The code has them at X=1.4,1.8,2.2,2.6,and 3.  The Y dimensions are correct.

The width value sets the total width of the array, it is NOT the spacing between holes. You should make width =11

Ah, Thanks!!! I misunderstood the graphic. Now it makes sense.
