convert a circular array of points to holes

[widpyro]

I have created a circular array of points and want to convert the points to holes. I started my sketch with a .15 hole but the circular pattern creates points not holes. There are a lot of holes. What is an easy way to convert all of them to .15 holes?

It would be better to create one (or 5 in this case) Hole feature and then pattern the Feature.

First thing I notice is that your sketch doesn't have any dimensions and when I add the missing dimensions they do not make logical sense (close to 6.5, but not 6.5).

Then I notice that you duplicated dimensions for the circles rather than simply use Equal (=) constraint.

This way you would only have one diameter dimension to edit if needed.

I also noticed that your square (Rectangle) is not constrained to the Origin.

If you had use Centerpoint Rectangle this would have been automatic.

Hi,

just create one instance on a circle > extrude it and create a circular pattern in solid mode

Check the diameters!
