Dear elliejasper94,

A new post on the topic "Question - Distribute objects a specific distance from another object" by Ken Wilson:

Hi. My idea is a little different.You create a cicle the size of your drill hole. You then create a second circle 3 mm in diameter. Convert both to paths.Enable some snapping options and move the 3 mm converted path along the edge of your shape. It will snap to that edge wherever you wish.Then enable Snap centers of objects.Move your duplicated drill hole path to the center of that previously placed 3 mm path.Delete the duplicated 3 mm path. And you now have the duplicated drill hole path - by itself - spaced exactly the 3 mm distance you wanted from the edge of the shape.See attached graphic.
