make a polygon hole

[shamus57]

Second day user here.  Sorry for the dumb question, but I can't seem to find the answer online. 

I want to make a six (or even eight) sided polygon hole in a 3mm deep disk.  I can create the hexagon using sketch and can put a circular hole in it (see screenshot), but I can't seem to edit the vertices of the hole to match the polygon. 

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm very sorry.  I'm not sure what you mean by "check this procedure."

The video will show one process of doing this.  You could use the Hole tool for the hole and then sketch the polygon using it's center but I decided to sketch it all together. Model attached.

By the way, in the future use the "Reply" icon on the post you are responding to so you are addressing the Forum poster and not YOURSELF.  You are using the "Quick Reply" icon which addresses to post to yourself.
