Hole Patterned Tube Generator

[OccamzRazor]

SolidWorks will do this without math or equations as of 2015. Any linear pattern of any length can be updated dynamically. Even before 2015 it could be done with a short equation but now it is automatic when you use a reference selection.

Thanks guys for all of your input. I didnt actually know that there were so many other ways of doing this in Solidworks (besides just making a tube and hole patterning). I am going to look into those and play around with them so I can make templates/generators withing Solidworks. Either way, this tool could prove useful for people who do not really know how to CAD on such a high level (for example me).
