To draw all the holes, you draw the first one at 0,0, origin

Then you use XFORM RECTANGULAR ARRAY

It will open a message box and you need to made 4 entries

Distance in the X direction and number on copy or entities

Distance in the Y direction and number of copy or entities

The double arrow is for changing direction

The rectangular array icon is 4 square dots.

Ah, ok, that makes sense. Thanks for being so helpful. People like you make forums a great resource.

I'll see if I can duplicate your instructions when I get home from work.
