How to make inset Circle With Sketch

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm new to fusion 360 and I'm trying to make a part.

I'm using this tutorial to learn how to build the part:

I'm having an issue with selecting planes to sketch on. In the video he presses C and selects a plane to sketch on. It doesn't seem to work that way. What am I doing wrong?

The part I am creating has an inside face I need to draw on to make an inset screw hole. The material has to extrude halfway through the inside face. I can only seem to sketch on the current view. The plane is under the current view. I hope that makes sense. 

Also, is there a way to duplicate the circle and move it to a different plane and make it bigger? There might be a better workflow I'm not aware of, but because I'm new it's all pretty complicated right now.

We can't see what your doing, and didn't review his video, not knowing how far into it the example is.

It doesn't seem to work that way - Wrong, it certainly does work that way. 

Use lightbulbs for clarity.  Turn objects off if they are in the way, turn them on if you need them.

Two easy ways to get your result. 

Edit the sketch the first hole came from, add a concentric smaller circle in the sketch at the new hole size. Stop sketch and extrude the inside hole from here.

Otherwise you can wait for select other, click on the face you want to put the circle on, hold left mouse button down, wait, and the menu will show all objects under the mouse pointer, in that dialogue click on the face, when highlighted, create sketch and continue....

Might help...

The part I'm talking about is at 3:30 in the video. When I hit C for circle the face doesn't highlight. I must be doing something wrong. Maybe I have some sort of option selected differently.

first commnet-

hitting c when not in an active sketch actually does 2 things.  First it runs the "start a new sketch" command.  your first click will select the face for this new sketch.  then it runs the circle command.  All of the sketch commands work this way.   I often see models from new users who have a cajillion sketches, often all piled up on the same face, and many without any sketch curves, because of this behavior.  I suggest ALWAYS either purposely creating a new sketch, or editing an existing sketch, and THEN running any sketch tools for this reason.

I can't tell what your doing because I can't see what your doing but 2 possibilities for your difficulties-

-your not holding the C down are you?

-the surface you want to pick has to be planner (perfectly flat)

Saw that part of the video, after c for Circle, has says click on this face, and does so, 

without clicking the face required at some stage, it will not highlight for you, so 

the alternate way and you know it will work, 

highlight the face first, then create the sketch, then C for circle, few more steps, but the video is short cutting the create sketch routine.

I figured it out. You guys were helpful as I learned about sketch layers. For some strange reason fusion wasn't creating a new sketch. I reloaded an old version and that one worked. Then I reloaded the new version and it worked again. I think it's just some sort of bug where it won't create a new sketch.
