Hello Troy, That was so quick I had to rewind it and watch it a couple of times. Thank you so much for answering that question, your way is much faster. I have posted your answer in the comments of my own video, Cheers One question:- When you selected the first row of holes you did not select the rectangle even though some of the edges were inside the selection box, how come?
Ah Ha, what I noticed is you have a solid line when selecting so I watched again and you select from left to right to get the solid selection box. I've been selecting from right to left and get a dashed selection box. Anything that falls inside the dashed box is selected. Thank you for your help.
After copying with move tool (M > Ctrl), direct type in "xN" which N is the number of copy including the one you just copied. Example: Click on object, press M, move in the direction, press Ctrl to make copy move, input the distance you want, press Enter, input x3, and then Enter to get 3 copies
Is there a way to do this with the divide tool? I've tried editing the component, and going through the procedure to divide the circles but it won't them let me push the holes through the board. It keeps making the circles their own component instead of making them part of the board like it should (triple-clicked on the board).

When selecting, if you don't draw your marquee completely around an object, it will not be selected.
Happy to help!

right at 1:46...how did you copy the 11 circles? That part happened to fast without enough explanation.

Great but how do you fill them back up. Everyone seems to skip this part.

Exactly what I need to do... thank you for your help.
Glad I found this. Thank you so much. Shame I spent so long the first time because I didn't know how.
