Trying to rotate a sketch around the entire object

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry if the title is not very helpful, but I will try to explain to the best of my ability.

I am trying to create the teeth shown in my hand-drawn sketch, as pictured. However, I do not want to have to create every single tooth on this piece. Is there a way to make one, and have it revolve around the object? This would save me tons of time, as this project is due this Friday.

Circular Pattern is the tool you're looking for.

Thank you for your answer,

however, it won't let me extrude these features. Any advice?

Hi

Create and extrude a single tooth.

Then using the Circular Pattern tool, pattern the solid (Tooth Extrusion) around the sprocket.

There are many ways to model things in Inventor, some methods are just a bit better than others, and patterning the 3D object IMO is better than patterning the sketches.
