ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED

Thanks Keith, but I think I have it now. But if you feel like posting it anyway I'm sure alot of people will learn from it. Thanks man!

yea I was off. after I learned the proper method (thanks John) I brought up the level with my old holes and the level with the new ones and I can see where I dropped the ball....

I got it i think thanks everybody

either i need a big rock to hide under or a tall building to jump off of.

I have tried this and I get way too many endpoints to count. can you be more spacific on the directions please? Im sure your method works, I just dont thing I'm following you too well. Thanks fot the help John.

ok, the cutomer has rejected this again. does anybody wanna try this. The first hole is on centerline and I need 26 equally spaced holes. nothing has worked yet. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!

im still havin my issues, i get equally spaced endpoints but it doesnt start from the center line, it starts just right of the C/L

x form template? i dont see that, where is it?

DING DING DING--------we have a winner, Thanks tony

John, I was hopeing you would chime in on this. Even when I break it into a spline it still only does 1 line or 1 arc. Does any body have a valume or a zanex

Steve, I cant get bolt circle to work either, I'm guessin because its not a cricle. p1ssin me off lol

Jeff thanks for the reply. But it's only placeing them on the line, it wont follow the arc?

I cant get this, I need 26 equaly spaced holes along the dashed line. The first hole is on C/L, how do I get the other 25 holes to follow the dashed line and keed an equal distance Thanks in advance.....

did ya get it?
