 I need to do 2D parametric cell where will change count of holes by hand. Here is example. 
 
 Now Im able by changing numbres of holes change diametres, but i dont know how to make there more holes. For example i got 2x2, when i change</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Parametric Cell- different numbers of holes</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/770157?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jun 2023 15:12:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6733b06a-76f4-4f6b-a1be-e1b1934fd0fe</guid><dc:creator>Carl Myhill</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Currently the 2D Array tool does not support the assignment of Variables, for this you might want to up vote Idea &lt;a href="https://microstation.ideas.aha.io/ideas/MS-I-246"&gt;MS-I-246&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If your able to produce a 3D Parametric Cell&amp;nbsp;then you could perhaps utilize the &lt;a href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/MicroStation%20Help-v23/en/ArrayParametricSolidFeature.html"&gt;Array Feature&lt;/a&gt; tool, to array the Holes. Although in the sample you have provided the Holes exceed the Solids extent and by an unknown distance/offset.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this example, I created Variables for both row and column spacing and quantity and assigned these to the Array Tool (See Image above) to drive Variations of Solids.&lt;/p&gt;
