Sketch snap and select single solid

In Inventor LT,I have 2 problems at the moment. One is, when I do a 2D sketch, I no longer have the "green dot" that shows when I am snapping to a point - how can I re-enable this?

   The other thing is, I have an extruded cyllinder which I have copied into a circular pattern. I would like to make one copy of the cylinder and move its position. But when I select the solid, it selects the whole pattern - how can I single out just one?

Check Constraint Persistance and Constraint Options.

The usual - attach what you have completed so far.

The sketch is on the right-hand side, with the 6mm diameter dimension. (Sketch 159)

 

The pegs that are shown in a radial pattern are the ones from which I want to isolate one.

There are a large number of errors in the file (i in circles, yellow triangles in browser).

 

Why are the "pegs" surface bodies rather than solid bodies?

 

The hole size for 22mm thread is wrong - the will be no threads - the fasteners will fall into the holes.

 

Manage>Rebuild All.

 

I recommend starting over using what you learned from this attempt to create a clean file.

 

And for future reference when posting a large file it is best to roll up the EOP.

 

Find the red End of Part marker in the browser.
(End of Folded on sheet metal parts EOF)
Drag the red EOP to the top of the browser hiding all features.

Save the file with the EOP in a rolled up state.

Right click on the file name and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Attach the resulting *.zip file here.
