creation circular pattern of hole

[michaeljack]

Hello, everyone.
I have to create a circular set of holes, the first at 35° on the front floor, and the other 2 with step 25° on the first (see images).
then I would like to repeat all 3 holes with 120° pitch.
with pro-e I have 2 possibilities:

1.I make the first hole at 35°; I make the series of 3 holes (first hole + 2 instances) at 25°, in pro-and the first hole enters into the series; select the series just made and make the series at 120° of the 3 holes (set series).

2. I make the table series, fill a sheet type excel by inserting a line for each instance and the value of the angle taken in absolute respect to the front plane e.g.
2 60°
3
4 155°
5 180°...

I tried the first road (set series) even with solid edge and noticed that the first hole unlike pro-e is not incorporated into the series.
so I made the first hole at 35° (hole 1), then I made the series of 2 instances at 25° (pattern 3), I made the series of the first hole at 120° (pattern 5), and finally the series at 120° of the 25° holes (pattern 6).
the result has been achieved, but it seems to me Moroccan.
according to you experts, what is the best technique?
Is there anything similar to the pro-e table series?

thank you and have patience.

in solid edge the hole and the series remain separate features, but you are not forced to perform two separate series later, but you can select both. in fact the pattern 5 and 6 you can do them in one command only. and this brings you back to your solution number 1.

the alternative is to make all holes with one feature.

Thank you.
I noticed after you can manage multiple holes in a single feature, I am used with pro-e that manages only one hole for feature.
