Welp - I'm here - Trying to resize a hole I created and cannot for the life of my figure out why I can't

[austinmscott]

I spent hours designing this because I'm a newbie and had to learn lots of basic concepts, which I still don't obviously have mastered by any means. This software is incredible and do so much.

I made this simple little mounting plate for some small electronics to 3d print and I want to adjust the hole size I made in the body, but I can't seem to do it! It's set to 2.2mm and I want to adjust them up to 2.6. In the process, I've learned that I could've used parameters to make this easier, but here we are and I just want to change these holes manually and cannot for the life of my do it. Now i've zoomed around on the history bar and tried a bunch of stuff and pretty sure i've messed something up in the process that's preventing me from doing this simple adjustment.

See attached and someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I tried pasting in a screen recording but getting an error. Maybe I can do it through another service... trying Google drive.

Quick fix using your file, 

Go to Modify > Change Parameters, 

open out the listing, to find the sketch involved with the 2.2 circles.

Ah, I see that you also have 2.2 holes in a Hole command, edit Hole feature and change 2.2 to 2.6 then Ok.

or,

Change the first one to 2.6

Change the next 3 to be the same as the first one from now on, edit the 2.2 to d55 for each of them.

Same for the other sketches, file will update and the parameters can be closed with OK button.

When files have Move and Press Pull icons in the timeline, there would be a lot of other things to talk about, so just updating the sketches this way will help in the current problem.

Might help...

Here is your model with the holes taken from 2.2 mm to 2.6 mm.  I do not know what the sketch containing all of the circles is for but that may be something you need.

Thank you both!

Ok, I'm back on this topic - but slightly different variation so didn't want to start a new thread.

I think something is wrong either with this file or a setting I changed at some point.

Within this file there is a "quinled" sketch that is on top of the body. I simply want to use a corner point of the quinled sketch to create a cylinder. However, no matter what I do, it never snaps to the point on the sketch once I start creating. Is there some sort of something I've done preventing from using this sketch to create objects on it?

[davebYYPCU]

That's because a Cylinder is a primitive object.

Primitives are not strictly parametric, so they will not snap or select to a sketch article, just a plane or planar face.

Workflow would be to make the Cylinder, and then move it to the sketch point, with either Move, or Joint if it is in a Component.

Recommend avoiding Primitives, and you draw the circle required in the sketch and use Extrude for a parametric workflow.

If you are editing the sketch "Quinted" the corner of the rectangle is a part of the sketch so you can sketch a circle using that point as a center.  If you are creating a different sketch, you may need to Project the corner into it to use as a center.  If you continue to have issues, create a video of your problem so the Forum users can see your process.
