Hey guys, I have been trying to create a hole pattern on an helical pattern. I have not had much luck other than just creating bunch of holes and rotating each row.

I would like to use the coil to create my path, make one hole then pattern on the helical path. This way I can use the coil to extrude a groove on path.

Thanks

I figured it out with the help of a friend and the guys on the Fusion 360 users on FB.

Too much to explain here, I will try to make a video.

Thanks
