Press Pull - I want to increase/decrease the diameter of the inner (smaller) hole.

[shiv.kmr003]

The current diameter of the inner hole is 0.266" and I want to increase it to 0.315" I am able to use the Press/Pull feature (offset) but I'm not able to get it to exactly 0.315". I'm typing the value (0.049") in the box that pops up but there seems to be a formula that I'm missing 🙂. I've tried using half of 0.049" thinking maybe I should enter the radius instead of the diameter, but that's not it either.

I think you will have success using the Offset Face command.  It is located under the Modify menu.

How was it made originally, 

Edit Feature, and change the value used to make it.

Might help....

@jhackney1972 Thank you for your reply. I believe the Press Pull automatically chooses the correct operation. Nonetheless, I did try the Offset Face command directly, selected the face and added the appropriate number.

the current diameter is 0.266"

I want it to be 0.315"

So I entered -0.049"

What I get is a diameter of 0.364" 🤔. Same as what I get when I use Press Pull.

I must be missing something really obvious, but I'm at a loss.

Thank you for your reply @davebYYPCU,

It was made from a sketch originally and then using the rectangular pattern command (the sketch only have one)  on a body I made multiple.

Are you saying if I modified the sketch, the multiple copies in the body will change?

Yes, 

and your result is 0.049 too big, Use half of 0.049.

What your stating is what I would expect. Consider this - Your hole is .266 dia. You tell it to offset the face -0.049, making it larger. The .049 is offset from the entire circle, adding twice the offset to the diameter. End result, .364.

I believe Push/Pull and Offset face will accept formulas, try entering -.049/2 in the value.

I know I tried this before I posted to the forum. But you're right, it needs the radius and not the diameter as the offset.

@davebYYPCU Thank you.

[shiv.kmr003]

Thank you @simsworx! I'm positive I tried half before posting to the forum. But yes, half actually worked.

[shiv.kmr003]

Yes, it all makes sense now. If you read the very first message I posted, I had tried half the value (but obviously, I must have made a mistake), and since that "also" didn't work I was stumped :0. But now I know that I surely got something mixed up.

Thank you for all of your help and explanation. Much appreciate.
