Copy circles/holes along a circle/curve

bjr
Attached is 1 SW file from a dev of a tendril, on this tendril is/are fixed other parts via drillings, question; How to copy these holes at an interval of 180mm
along the construction line with several occurrences?

Thank you
PS: 3D file attachment twist too

I'm sending you what I did from your 3D, winding function then repetition following a curve. Tell me if it's right for you

Which SW version of the attached files? Always a little frustrating not to have a visual on the subjects.

SW2023SP5 for me

Hello

Below is a proposal in " Sheet metal" mode from the start, in the 2020 version.
The intermediate flattening in principle gives circular contours with the same center, but they are not positioned on the axis of the initial helices. It is therefore necessary to find the center by a construction in Sketch7 of an arc passing through 3 points (in the construction line).

Then the holes are generated by extrusion, via a basic circular repetition in the same Sketch7. Simply remove the repetition angle and replace it with the centre distance to respect the 180 mm distance.

Thank you

Thanks to m_blt, by modifying the starting angel of the 1st hole I get what I wanted
