Seems like it carries thru into the offset.  Here are ejector pin holes that I am trying to transfer from the mold cavity to the mold base.

You need to create a sketch on the surface of the bottom plate that needs to receive all teh holes and then select "Sketch->Project/Include->Project" and then select the hole outlines in the ejector plate. This will project the holes and centr points off all the holes onto tht sketch. Then you can either use the projected hole outlines directly or make new holes with the hole pattern tool.

Here's a screencast

In Solid Works I'd create the holes in the ejector plates with a sketch based pattern and then use the same pattern to "drill" the holes in the bottom plate. Vary fast and efficient. I've got an idea for sketch based and reusable patterns in the idea station ready for you to vote on 😉

Thanks, works.  Project gets everything transfered.  Cool
