How do I create a series of holes (#4214)

I have a solid model of a steel bar 1" wide by 75" long, 1/8" thick. I want to put a series of 1/4" holes along the length of the bar spaced 1" apart down the middle. So far the only way I've found to do that is to do them one at a time. For each hole I have to reselect the face and place the hole. That got tedious after about the 40th hole. I tried to copy the hole so I could paste it but when I select a hole it selects the whole bar. Is there a way to do a linear array for holes? I'm using VCad 8. Thanks. Ray

Hi Ray Try doing a linear array of circles and then use the cutout tool after selecting all the circles. Regards Jason

Tried to do what you guys are saying, not happening, I must be doing something wrong. Is there a video of this somewhere?

Not really solutions, you can mark the video (on YouTube) like your favorite. Same with screencast, I can download on my computer your demos.
