How do I create a bolt-hole pattern in XyzPilot?

Use Points/On,C,N to create N equally spaced points around a circle, then use Circle/Centre,R at each point to create the hole circles.

Full Answer

Two steps: 1) Create hole centre points with Points/On,C,N. 2) Create a circle at each centre with Circle/Centre,R.

XyzPilot Example

Pitch circle: centre (0,0), radius 50mm, 6 holes, hole r=4mm Step 1: Circle/Centre, P_origin, R=50 → C0 Step 2: Points/On, C0, N=6, Angle=0 → P0-P5 Step 3: Circle/Centre, P0, R=4 → C1 Circle/Centre, P1, R=4 → C2 [repeat for P2-P5]
