With the Machinist Calc and Machinist Calc Pro, you can 
determine a Bolt Pattern by entering the Bolt Circle Diameter, 
the Number of Bolt Holes and the Angle of the rst bolt hole 
(optional). The Machinist Calc Pro offers the added ability to enter 
an optional Center x and y-coordinate of the Bolt Pattern. 
In addition to calculating the x and y-coordinates for each bolt 
hole, the Bolt Pattern function also calculates the hole center-to-
center spacing (i.e. on-center distance from hole to hole).
