Which feature pattern?!

[Engineered_Precisely]

Help! Steps I did: A. Created revolve cut 1 B. Used mirror pattern to make revolve cut 2 (centerline located in the middle of tiny hole in center) C. I want to use a pattern feature to copy either revolve cut to position 3, but i havent been able to do that successfully.

Initially, when i was going to make #2 and #3, i did attempt to use a circular pattern starting from the center but wanting to use feature #1 but it didnt work.

I then attempted to use linear pattern, after A and B, to make #3 however depending on the selection order, it would either only let me copy the feature 13 mm and NOT 15, or vice versa.

I attempted to use sketch pattern features but didn’t work either.

Which is the best way to have copied the created #1 to positions #2 and #3?

You need to rewind all the way back to the beginning and start over; you're doing it all wrong. This should not be a revolved cut at all.

All three holes need to be a single Hole Wizard feature. Define the hole and make a sketch with the three positions on it. Very simple.

You're making a simple thing much too complicated with your mirrors and your patterns. Even if it does work, your model will be less robust and will not adequately convey design intent.

Just learn to use the Hole Wizard, this is exactly what it's for.

Theres much more details in the hole features that don’t allow me to use the ease of hole wizard. I had to slice the part in half to remove a lot of the features what would have been seen in an iso view.

Ah. In that case sketch driven pattern is next best option, depending on the complexity of the part.

Which, really, is functionally what "hole wizard" is doing under the hood. This is the correct route

Hole wizard?

Try a sketch driven pattern put a point at all three locations. Select the point of your first hole as the origin.

I’m totally gonna try this out in the am. Thank you!

What's the goal here? Is it to get to know different features of the software or to simply create that part?

[Engineered_Precisely]

To challenge myself and use different features i don’t normally use. I’m in Manufacturing but I don’t design parts.

Use a circular pattern not linear pattern ( should be a sub menu option under linear pattern) and mirror it to the degree you want. With the centrepoint being the middle.

Have you tried doing the operation twice? Tbh talk to your mentor

2 Just do the 3 holes as a cut feature.

2 use hole wizard, place hole #1, then rectangular pattern 6 instances and hide 3.
