Copy feature from one surface to another

I've just started learning how to use 360. I've designed a box, link to it below, to learn how to use the pattern feature. I've created a hole feature and successfully used the rectangular pattern to get the holes on one side of the box. I would like to copy that to the other three sides without having holes on the corner radius. My first design was to extrude the holes through the box to the other side, this seems to be a great way to learn a bad habit I have to unlearn in the future.

 

I've tried move/copy but can't get the copy option when I select the face. I went through a video from Spark Plug, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj6h6ARtITE, which is the closest I've seen to what I'm trying to learn.

 

This is the link to the design, https://a360.co/3b98Cyo

 

Thank you,

Use a Circular Pattern using "all" of the existing model patterns selecting the first, second and third in order.  Use the origin Z axis as the center.  Make sure you use an Optimised Circular Pattern option.  Model is attached.

Since you say you are just learning Fusion 360, I want to point out an error in one of your sketches and how to easily fix it, at least in this case.  If you look in the timeline you will see one sketch with a yellow background.  If you right click on it you can review the warning.  In the Screencast I show you how easy it is to fix this error.  It is not always this easy but this one is a snap.  If you feel you have a solution to your forum post please select the Accept as Solution icon to help others find the answer to similar questions.
