How to create 20 copies of an object, scaling down smaller for each copy.

Hello, I'm new to Fusion still and trying to look for a solution. This is a 65mm hub and I need to create 20 of them, each that is 2mm smaller than the next while still retaining the 5mm holes.  The hole pattern along the outside should move closer to the center with each iteration. My questions are:

1. Rather than drawing this object 20 times, is there a way to copy and scale it down without also scaling the diameter of the bolt holes?

 

2. I have found the parameters setting and can reduce both the hub's outer diameter and the hole pattern diameter easily.  If this is the best option, should I copy the sketch each time I reduce the size or make a copy of the body every time I resize it?

@tlujan0001R7HAG - this is what Configurations is designed for.  You can have a single design that drives all 20 versions of your hub design.  However, it is only available for commercial (and education) license holders.  If you have the free versions, then you will have to do this manually by copy/pasting the design 20 times.
