Modify/Change Parameter Issue

[Anonymous]

I am learning about this wonderful aspect of Fusion 360 and watched a video on how to do this. I thought I did everything exactly like the guy in the video did it. When I noticed I cannot change the number of points on the circle, I tried several times to do it again, watched the video over and over, and I am missing something. Is there someone here who can tell me why when you go to Modify/Change Parameters, and choose anything other than 6 for the Number of Points, nothing happens? 

This is the video I was looking at if it helps...

You didn't seem to have used the points parameter as the count in the pattern. See attached file. I also used a Rule Fillet so the fillet doesn't break when you change the number of points.

I was hoping it was me. Okay. Still learning and so far to go! Thanks again Mark!

Here's another version that will not break if you have a lot of points. The second sketch modifies the size of the groove so you get and equal spacing and the fillet also scales.

Wow Mark! This is a tremendous addition to the toolbox. Lots of uses. I will try try to add variable thread sizes. I am sure not everyone is keen on 8mm threads only. This is for my Spool Holder/Filament Sensor Project.

I am thinking about starting a project that transfers 3D Printer Filament from one spool to another. It would require a gearbox that moved a filament guide back and forth at the same speed as the rotation of the spool for cleaner feeding. This knob project reminds me of gears too. This is truly and amazing program. Not enough hours in the day! Thanks again!!
