Holes in a circle equal distant apart by the outer diameter

Seems simple enough but I can't easily figure it out. Basically I want to make 300 holes. These 300 holes will start small but get increasingly bigger. These 300 holes need to form a circular pattern. These 300 holes need to be equal distance apart BY THE OUTER EDGE, not the center. Picture a huge d...

Re: How to center a sketch around a hole

That link was for something totally different. Concerning the circle: After repairing the Body issue I could create a sketch and make a link to the external circle, the use of this is known because you used external geography to cut out the triangle.
