Create a part using an existing part (Derived Parts)

Can anybody help?

Is the following possible with Fusion 360?

Say I have created a simple part that is going to be laser cut (say a rectangle with a few holes)

Can I create a new part and reference (insert) the laser cut part, as shown above, then add a couple of tapped holes and a chamfered edge??

this is similar to a derived part as already available inside Inventor.

Many thanks in advance!

Did you try using Derive in Fusion? It's available on the insert menu and the create menu. Should do what you're asking about.
