      Hi I managed to draw it by taking one segment of the circle (80 segments), pulling it up to the length and cutting the holes in that
      50 holes per segment
      Then I copied and rotated it 80 times, so now we have 4000 holes
      It was scaled up x10, I tried to scale it back down but got the spinning beach ball and it just froze up
      Any idea how to clean it up

        Use the bare minimum of segments for your holes.

            I'm not sure why you want to send it.
            Just start again and use fewer segments in the circles for the holes, and be patient, doing anything with 4000 holes can take time.
            And I'm off to bed.

            By the way, how many users accounts do you have?

                        24 is the default not the minimum. You could use as few as 8 and still have the appearance of a smooth circle. The minimum is 3.
