Shower Nozzle, Linear Pattern

famadorian

For a shower nozzle, I want to create a linear pattern. 

Can such a pattern be created from the center and then bidirectional?

The nozzle has 7 rows and 8 columns.

Here's my drawing: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/496067d2ccbc9b881a8ff3c4/w/8d013e8e1b9b365bdd486f87/e/70e2447a06b6735ee49f5130

You can do that:

1. Create a sketch and place a center point rectangle
2. Dimension the distances to the outer edges (I also created constraints so it is in the center)
3. Change the lines of the rectangle to construction lines
4. Create a circle at the lower left corner (this will be the hole)
5. Use the circle for a linear pattern in the sketch (with the number of holes for each direction)
6. Change the dimensions of the linear pattern to "driven dimensions"
7. Now make the top right circle coincident with the top right point of the rectangle
8. Change the two middle circles to construction lines
9. Extrude the complete sketch (don't select every circle, just select the sketch in the browser)
10. Finish!

You can use a mirror feature after your linear pattern
(You should probably use face mirror rather than feature mirror, as it is faster)

Many options, I'd possibly use a standard linear pattern and then a delete face to remove the two unwanted centre holes.

Wow, I opened this on my mobile and accidently hit accept solution. I haven't read it yet   Can I remove my accept?

Maybe it's the best solution, but I'll read when I get home
