Why can i sometimes not select certain feature in my model?

Hello Everyone, 

Problem: 
When using features like extrude, circular pattern or other features i sometimes cant select the things i wanna select. 

Example: 
Down below you can see im doing the learing course and i wanna use circular pattern for the small hole in the middle but i can only select the entire part. 
If i click in my feature list on the left nothing happens. 
However i can select everything on the "axis of pattern" menu. 
Just not with "entities to pattern" 
There will be and example of 2 pictures down below with some text to explain. 

I struggled with this more in the past and hopefully someone can tell me what i am doing wrong. 
Thanks everyone in advance!

Picture 1: Showing i can select the hole i want right now without circular pattern selected. 


Picture 2: Showing when i try to mouse over the part it selects the whole part and not specific features.

    Change from "Part pattern" to "Feature pattern"
