repeating features across multiple points

I hope this is a simple features im unaware of.

Ive sketched this orbound over the center of a point and I need the same feature across every point to the right of it every 3 inches (Where i have the points made).

And any adjustments i make to the original orbound id like to carry over to the other copied sections.

 

Ive attached a photo.

Thanks for any help or insight into any fusion features i may be unaware of!

Since you did not include the model, are the points evenly spaced?  Will you be creating a feature from the obround using Extrude?  If the answer is yes to both questions, extrude one and then pattern the feature using the point spacing.  You will not need the points.  If otherwise, explain and attach 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 as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Id just like to repeat this feature, at even spaces but retain the ability update the other repeated features if i make any changes to the one main pattern, such as increasing or decreasing the dimensions of it.

 

Thanks a lot for your help. Apologies for the late response

This can easily be accomplished by patterning timeline features :

 Model is attached.

 

The base plate and the individual clamps should probably be components, and not just bodies.

Thank you!

 

One quick question as well,

 

I noticed in your model you have features selected but in mine im unable to select individual features because it wants to select the entire model and wont let me highlight individual features deeper in the model such as the holes

Change the object type in hte pattern UI from whatever is the default to Features:

In general, pay close attention to all settings in that UI!

For example, the default for "Distribution" is "Extends". I changed that to "Spacing".
