Before starting this tutorial I will suppose that you have read my previous posts one is about curve pattern and second is about extrude feature.

I will skip initial steps as they are the same as I did in my last post. I will start with solid rectangle having a hole at its left bottom corner as shown in fig below.

When you will click at point option the creo will ask you to specify the points that you want to include in pattern. So we will go to sketch the points. For this click at the “reference” tab the click at “define” button.
