Grid with circular holes

Hello, I needed to advise the simpler / most efficient way to create a grid with circular holes in CorelDraw. I need to draw a square plate with circular offset holes (just 2D). All circular holes are as far apart and half offset.

Can not anyone advise me how to make it as simple as possible?

Thank you

  • Look at the Transformations docker. You can move a shape by a specified distance horizontally and/or vertically, but copy while doing this - and specify the number of copies.

    So, one circle can quickly be turned into a row of 50 circles of the specified spacing.

    That row of circles can then be turned into 50 rows of circles, each row the same vertical distance from the rows immediately above and below it.
