Filling shapes with equally spaced points but following the shape geometry

[ropedrag]

Hi Group.

I'm working on a project that involves a word, letters to be more specific. Letters roughly 12" tall and let's say the font is bold so that the line width is 1" (just a guess at this point). I would extrude the letter shape to be say 1" thick. Up to this point I'm solid on the how to.... I now want to set up a grid that follows the shape of the letter and is offset from the letter boundary. I'm unsure of the grid spacing size inside the boundary as it will be a "feel" call once I stat playing with it. The concept is similar to the attached image. 

I cant seem to figure out how to set this grid up, and honestly don't know if Fusion 360 can do this but I'm hoping so. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Hi,
If you only want to create the objects that are to lie completely within the profile, you need the "To object" option for the extrusion.
However, the calculation time is enormous!

You can also create holes instead of pins.

Nicely done @g-andresen, It's an interesting way of doing this.
