I am trying to cut multiple holes on a curved surface, perforated for ventilation in Solidworks. I do not want random holes. How do I create perforated holes that align straight on each angle. An example of what I'm trying to achieve is the MUJI Cd player http://swissmiss.typepad.com/weblog/2005/11/muji_cd_player.html
Help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Irene

Irene,
You could easily create the pattern shown at the link you posted by creating a fill pattern of the hole, or by creating one of the spokes in a hole feature and then doing a circular pattern.
I need to do just the oposite - all my cut holes/slots dimensions are on the modeled cylinder located radially. I then need to unfold the clyinder to get a flat pattern. No longer have round holes etc. - is there a way without starting in the flat?
