Hello.

I'm new to FUSION.
I'm having issue with the measurement by using the rectangular pattern function.

After duplicate, the gap that measured was not accurate. Visually seems correct.
Hopefully someone e can advise me on this

Please attach your file for analysis. 

 

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.

you'll have to share the design to get help.  Export as a "Fusion Archive (F3D)" and attach it to a post here.  Thanks

What were you selecting?  I can't replicate it, and the only error I get is a depth error, 

I am unable to select the centre point of a cylinder with the Measure Tool under my config. (Windows 10)

You have a square side length of 31, the circle center is places 7,5 from left side and a rectangular pattern with spacing 14,5.
This will place the circle center 9 from right side (31 - 7,5 - 14,5 = 9).
Your design inputs are not symmetric.
If the dimensions from circle to edge and from circle to circle are important you have to drive the side length from those dimensions.

 

Sketch with driven dimensions from your design.

Hi,

your spacing is wrong > create a parameter for spacing

Thank you for founding this. I never knew it will auto select the top face when I measure it from the top.

Is there anyway to disable this?

Thank you for the clarification and details. It was my own error in calculating the wrong dimension, and I was not aware that the measurement tool was measuring the body with the extrude pillar top face.
