Thanks for the reply and I apologize for missing the obvious.  The icons were right in front of me and I did not see them.  I got the desired results from the program this time.  I am still amazed and delighted by the cooperatiion and willingness to help shown by the members of this group.

Has the extra pass been fixed yet.  If so, where does one find it?  I have had this problem a couple of times also.  I would like too say tha I am enjoying the ease of use of these wizards.  I have just started trying them.  I am a BobCad user and find these are really nice to use for routine cutting.  Very user friendly.  Thanks for making them available.

I upgraded today and tried the program.  It gave me a rectangular bolt pattern which had the same pattern as shown on the icon.  The previous (2.72) program gave me an array pattern of holes which were offset as discribed in the earlier post.  I am looking for the array style pattern, columns and rows.  Is there a wizard for that style of bolt pattern?  Thanks for your time and patience with me.

If it makes a difference, I used the rectangular hole pattern wizard from the Newfangled Suite.

I was using a center drill in preparation for drilling with a 27/64 drill bit.  The spacing of the holes was correct, just one extra in each row and a skipped one at the beginning of each row (except the first one).  If you need more information, ask.  This was an easy one to edit, but I am curios if anyone else has seen this.

Thanks for your time and the rapid response.  The information that I get from the Mach world is worth many times the price of the program.  Keep up the great work folks.

Hello all

I just used the rectangular hole pattern wizard and had an interesting problem.  I am doing a 5 high by 7 wide pattern.  On the first pass I got 8 holes wide, then the tool moved up one space, drilled a hole, skipped a hole and drilled seven wide (in the x axis).  This contiued in the same pattern untill compltion.  Fortunately the 8th hole was always off of the work piece and I was able to save it.  Has anyone else had this problem?
