Also, if your total pattern is symmetrical, you can use the mirror button. i think its somewhere next to the trim button. To do this create a construction line (or real line) in the center of the face. Lets say you want two triangles on each side, 5 and 10 in. from the middle. Make the first two triangles on one side.. Then click mirror, then select the triangles. Then click the mirror line button in the little toolbox that pops up. Select that center line, click done, and it will mirror your sketch. This can also work at the 1/4 point,left or right, so youd only have to make one triangle in that situation (assuming the numbers work out fine), and so on. This is very helpful in that you could put one hole on the very end, mirror it by the correct fraction, and then repeat that process until youve hit the 1/2 line. BIG time saver.
Hope this helps,
