Sweep rather than Extrude.

But your circle is blue?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

I didn't request a 3mf file.

I specifically requested a native fusion format file *.f3d

To create your cut feature I used a Sweep.  The video will explain.  Your model is attached.

Missing two Coincident Constraints.

Add the two missing Coincident Constraints.

What color is the circle now?

My guess is that you actually want the Sweep cut profile Perpendicular to the Path. See Attached.

(Revolve could also be used for this.)

But not constrained to those locations.

Note that the circle was still blue.

Blue curves should keep you awake at night.

 

Simply add the two missing Coincident Constraints.

That way if you change ANY of the dimensions - EVERYTHING will update correctly and predictably.

Extrude is in a straight line perpendicular to the Profile.

Sweep follows any defined Path (in this case your arc).

Would you like to see the easy way?

 

First, make use of Symmetry about the Origin.

Use Extrude Symmetric (midplane) for your first Extrude.

As I started to show another technique it occurred to me that the second circle might not be positioned to achieve the correct geometry.

What are you modeling?

What does the mating component look like?

I finally manage to make this to get what I wanted.
this is a holder for a registration table on the back of motor bike TOMOS.

If anyone need it here it is.
