Here’s one more of numerous ways to do it.
It’s more involved. Maybe way overkill for what you want. But it allows you to adjust things easily, in that all that needs to be adjusted is the numeric value of one of the first three variables in the feature list
In fact, the way this is set up, there’s no need to alter things within the sketches themselves. Just make any adjustments from within one of the three variables at the top of the list
For starters, I wouldn’t change the numeric values for #width & #clear by much as things can fall apart. So to start with, only alter them by 100th of an inch or so
Look at the two different part studios. And observe the values for the variables at the very top of the list
#plate — Gives the width of the blank prior to punching any holes in it
#width — Gives C to C distance between circular slots (edited)
#clear — Gives the distance from the outermost slots to the edge of the plate
