Stitched template option in Designer?

[KariF]

The attached pictures shows how the template would be used.  It's essentially evenly staggered holes that follow the path of each object.  If you look closely you'll see where the holes are.  I have v2 of AD.  Thanks!  

I've tried the dashed stroke option but not quite working how I expected it to.

This thread might shed some light on the/a workflow … (note, this was V1. In V2 is a bit more option to align the dashes (holes))

This post reference was very helpful.  Thanks!  Last question - promise.  How do I stagger and repeat to make the design?  Normally array.

Sorry, here my English fails. Possibly you ask for "Power Duplicate" (as multiple single step-by-step commands) or for "Data Entry" (dto., as a 1-click command + more options) or "Quick Grids" (rectangular object grid). – Oddly, the Online Help fails already to find content for "power duplicate", so this video tutorial seems to give more info and a practical overview:

00:00 Intro
00:33 Quick Grids
01:47 Power Duplicate
03:28 Transform Origin
04:47 Data Entry
06:52 Circular Arrangements
08:27 Line Examples
09:08 Symbols

This resource is AMAZING!  Great video - very clear and like others have said, learned additional things I didn't know existed as well.  Thank you so so much.  I think data entry option is what I need for this scenario.
