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?

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.

Hi

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

Help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Irene
