Newbie needs help: Add three holes to an existing design

kojaklazy — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 00:35:54 GMT

I have to add three holes that are equally spaced from each other on a cylinder surface. I have no clue on how this is accomplished and I am not sure if I can do it with my fusion version (NON-PAID)

Create first hole by preferred method.

Circular Pattern - select the Feature (that made the Hole), select cylinder axis, the default is for a 3 count.

Might help…

Are there any unresolved issues highlighted in your Timeline?

Does Ctrl b or CMD b on Mac return any errors?

Check back in a few minutes for corrected file.

I didn't know how you wanted the circular pattern of three holes located relative to the rectangular pin feature, but that can easily be edited.

See attached.

Edit Sketch 1 and examine carefully.

From what I can see from the cad file it looks good. I will print the bottom portion of the adapter and check the alignment. I will send you a response as soon as I check the print.

The holes are in alignment based on the current diameter/circumference. Can you increase the diameter of the base from 92mm to 93mm (1mm increase)? I am also guessing the distance between each hole will also need a slight increase due to the circumference changed. Thank you in advance.
