Create new workplane.
Select one of the origin planes or axis.

Sorry if I seem a bit inept, but I can't seem to do this at all. I have a 1.5" dia Cylinder and need 4 holes in the side. The directions you gave aren't making much sense to me. I have tried to do the things you suggested but so far nothing. I am using Inventor 2013.

Click Circular Pattern tool.
Click on the Hole.
In the Circular Pattern dialog box select the Selection tool for Axis and select the side of the cylinder.
Enter 3 instances and click OK.
BTW, your sketches are not constrained and you are doing too much work.
I recommend you go through these
