Assistance with Machining Patterns

[Anonymous]

As a part of my education, my teacher is having me to the Titans of CNC Academy 5-Axis Series. There is a slight issue with this Academy though, as all the videos in which they show you how to design and machine the parts use outdated versions of Fusion 360. In the machining video for the 139M, a basic cube with engravings to give a basic understanding of 5 axis machining, the video has you creating a pattern of a face mill around the cube. Below is an image of what that pattern should look like.

The video specifically has you create a circular pattern of a 2D Contour, around the axis that goes around the eagles (it is stated this axis is different for different people. For me it was my Y, and for the video it was his Z)

However, when I do the pattern, my Fusion outputs this.

I have an idea as to why, because it starts right at the end of the other path, approximately, or something to that degree. But I'd wanna know how I'd change the pattern so that it outputs the pattern shown in the video. Any information you need, I can supply. Thanks in advance.

Where it's going wrong is here: "Axis" selection. You selected the Y axis of the origin, same as  the video creator, but in the video we can see that the triad (XYZ, Nomen, world origin, whatever term you prefer) is in the center of the part.

So, for Rotary Pattern to work, you are going to need to sketch a line through the center of rotation. EASIEST way to do that is draw a circle in the center of the face you want to rotate around and extrude a new body
