How to edit a .prt model

[Anonymous]

Hello I'm relatively new to Fusion 360. I've imported a model (.prt), and I need to move 2 hole locations X .02". How can I accomplish this without redrawing the entire file? When I try to move the holes, it attempts to move the entire body. Holes in question have a red box around them.  File has been attached. TIA

Activate the Move tool (shortcut - press M on your keyboard).

Change the Move Object setting to Faces instead of Bodies.

Select the 24 faces of the two holes.

Start dragging one of the arrows the direction you want, and then type in the distance you want the holes to go in that direction.

Yeah...I'm trying to win the prize doughnuts.

One more question since I've already uploaded the file here. What steps do I take to increase the radius of the oval shaped holes by .005" I need to open them up .005" per side.

Now that's a different can of worms. I'm not a direct-modeling guy. The only way I know how to do it is this:

Start a sketch on one side, and project in the oval. (Or both of them.)

Make a sketch offset of that oval that is 0.005 bigger. (For both of them.)

Extrude/Cut that extra width down through the original hole.

I strongly recommend you turn on Capture Design History before you start doing this.

You would basically be shaving 0.005 out all the way around the non-tapered bit of the oval hole.
