Unable to offset multiple sketch entities at once

[Rishi-Bhardwaj]

Dear Inventor Users,

                                            I have a doubt with sketch offset in inventor. I am unable to select multiple sketch entities at once. Sometimes, I have to create a number of holes on project geometry, but new hole should be larger in diameter. I was doing this in SolidWorks. 

I have also attached a screenshot of SolidWorks for better understanding.

Do we have anything by which, I can achieve same results in Inventor, please let me know, Thanks in advance...

(Actually, I am new on Inventor, But I had been working on SolidWorks for Last 7 years, So that's why I am asking such kind of basic questions. )

Hello Rishi,

I personally think that the most easy way is to make a sketch on the plane (where you want to make the bigger holes), make a Project Geometry of the existing holes.

Next step is to make sure those geometries are no longer construction lines and then select the Hole wizard.

It automaticly selects all the holes.

Even if you move the holes wherefrom you made the Project Geometry, it will move along that point.

Each closed loop will trigger the function, and there's no way to multi-select them. You'd need to add a new idea to the Ideastation and hope it gets implemented soon.

Thanks for your reply..........

(definitely, it will help a-lot sir)

It is not the cleanest way to work, but it works.
Good luck!
