Hi all I am a beginner using fusion 360 but I am learning, but at the moment I need your help. Has I have sketched the main big circle and started doing the 6mm smaller circles in the larger circle. I need to know how to go about getting them equally spaced between each other smaller circles and also how too get the smaller circles from the larger circles edge at 2mm distance from the edge to edge. So I hope someone can help on this has I am now stuck on how to get every circle in the correct position.

Please attach the Fusion 360 Model you have done so far to  help the forum users make sure you are starting out correctly.  What it sounds like is you need to consider a circular pattern.  Normally it is better to pattern solids rather than sketches so it really would help to see your model.

 

If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

Hi,

This is how such a sketch is created

But it is better to sketch only one instance and create the pattern with an extrusion (hole..)
