ABOUT THIS TOOL

How Bolt Pattern Generator fits into the workflow.

Generate a repeatable rectangular hole pattern for fixtures, plates, brackets, and CNC drilling operations.

01

Prepare the Hole Patterns Inputs

Enter row and column counts, spacing, and the starting origin. The generated table lists every point in row-major order.

02

Where This Output Fits

Use it for fixture layout, drilling patterns, inspection locations, and programming references.

04

What to Check Before Using It

Starting from the wrong corner or reversing row and column spacing.

ENGINEERING METHOD

How Bolt Pattern Generator generates its output.

METHODX = origin X + column × X spacing. Y = origin Y + row × Y spacing.
