Linear Pattern
Information required:
Linear pattern type (array, or frame)
First hole (1st hole of the pattern)
Holes per row (number of holes in each row of pattern)
Hole spacing (the spacing, or offset between each hole in the row)
Angle (the angle, or rotation of the pattern)
Depth (the target depth for drilling in the tool axis)
Number of rows (number of rows in the pattern)
Row spacing (the spacing between each row of the pattern)
Information entry, and operation of the Linear Pattern feature is very
similar to the Hole Pattern feature described earlier.
