Hello everyone!
So, I am very new (I'm sure this will be obvious by the question) and am having some trouble learning the basics.
What I'm trying to do - I have a 5 sided Polygon (the polygon is 1.925 inches long on each side and it is 2.475 inches tall). One on side of the polygon, I have a few sketches, shapes, extrudes and cuts. I have completed my "design" on the first side. Now I am wanting to duplicate that one side and place it on the four remaining sides with the exact same dimensions, scale, features, etc. Thus making each side of my 5 sided polygon contain the same design.
What I have tried: I have tried mirroring and it gives me a duplicate but way out in the distance. I have also tried the rectangular and Circular, which would not place each item on the 4 remaining faces.
As I said earlier, I am very new to this very powerful program. If you could dumb-down any answers, that would be greatly appreciated. If it is something obvious, I apologize, I have overlooked it. But I did try to struggle my way though my question first.

Hi,
You can use your polygon sketch as a path for the pattern.
Look at the screencast, hope this is what you are after.
Attach you *.ipt file here and end all doubt.
Worked like a charm. The step I was missing was where you "Flip".
I am not sure I entirely understand why you have to flip it?
Thanks so much.
