  so, when we're talking about 100mm, it's the diameter that the holes
lay on, not the distance between two adjacent holes? i always thought it
was the distance between the two adjacent. when i drew a circle with a
~5.5" diameter and seperated the holes by 90°, the lines ended up being
~4.25" long. when i drew 5 holes (72° apart), the holes only ended up
being ~2.75" apart. but, of course, if its a measure of diameter rather
than length, i'm proven wrong and apologize. in that case, thanx for the
clarification.
