Cylinder with a groove

[rpsalas]

I want an 10mm long cylindrical peg with a diameter of 5.5 mm. between 6 and 8mm of it;'s length I want a groove, diameter of 3.5 mm. My best idea is to have two circles extruded with one offset to 6 mm offset. Any better ideas?

Have you tried creating an offset plane from the top (or bottom) of the cylinder, draw the slot profile on the new plane and extrude the profile with cut enabled?

There are probably a dozen different ways to do this in Fusion - that's just one!

The idea of ​​offset is fine.

Another method is Extrude from a single sketch.
The advantages include fewer operations and a shorter model history.
The disadvantages include the fact that the pin is not symmetric about the global coordinate system.

I would probably just revolve the profile.  one sketch, one feature.  easy to find the dimensions needed to make adjustments.
