Yet Another Request for a toolpath hint

[Smokeys]

Pretty simple vacuum table with a bunch of raised blocks.    I've tried various strategies but they all seem way more complicated than they need to be.  I just think I should be able to do something simple here.   Any suggestions?

With simple repeating geometry like that it's best to utilise patterns to achieve the result.

What I do for something like that is use Sketches to drive to toolpath down the slots, then add the toolpath to a pattern.

you can add a toolpath to a pattern by right clicking and selecting add to new pattern

see attached for an example.

Thanks!!   I saw your other post on doing this and didn't quite follow what you were doing but this time it made perfect sense.    That will really help.
