Changing the 'Drillhole X' changes the measurement in millimetres along the X axis [landscape]

Changing the 'Drillhole Y' changes the measurement in millimetres along the Y axis [vertical]

Drillhole Position is saved as presets, so each number has different layouts: 

  • Position 1: 1 drillhole in each of the 4 corners.
  • Position 2: 1 drillhole in each of the top 2 corners.
  • Position 3:  1 drillhole in the top left corner.
  • Position 4: 3 drillholes on the left side and 3 drill holes on the right side.
  • Position 5: 3 drillholes on the top side and 3 drill holes on the bottom side.

Drillhole Size is the radius of the hole in millimetres. If you need a 5mm hole, enter '2.5'.

Select the 'Save' button when you scroll down in the same box, now check the image-1662372816942.png print-ready file to see the drill holes on the artwork.
