Circular pattern with all other entities.

Hey guys, Not sure if this has been asked and answered but i'm a long time dreamer first time cad modeler. I've been using onshape for a couple of months on and off and have sketched a wheel for my harley and am currently trying to do the bolt pattern for the brake disc to bolt onto. I have done one hole with a thread and wondered is there a way to copy or do it on a multiple scale without having to do it all individually i.e extrude hole, create helix, sketch thread pitch, rotate thread pitch etc on each hole. It may be easy but a newbie so please be gentle.

Sounds like Circular pattern to me

I've already tried that and it wont let me select the hole and thread i have already put in the part. It only lets me select the whole part. If i do it in the sketch i only get the circle used for the hole. Unless i am going about it wrong.

I think you need to pattern feature or face rather than part.  If you post a link to your doc if you're still having problems I'm sure someone will help you out.

Owen S,

Thanks Owen. I knew it was probably something i was missing. Didn't even register the drop down arrow in the dialogue box. All sorted
