How do i creat a perforated plate ?

Hello,
i been trying to creat a perforated plate. So i creat a big circle and eight little circles on a sketch. The little circles are evenly distributed on the big circle with the circle template. Now i like to extrude all the circles, but the problem is, i only can choose the big circle and one of the little circles, not all of the little circles. The result is a circle with only one hole in it.

I see you found a way.
I've added 2 simpler options in this document.

In your version you've patterned the whole sketch, and have the hole in a different sketch too. That isn't necessary. So in the first example, I have a single sketch for the disk, and the holes. The holes are made by patterning the circles within the sketch, and then one extrude.
Just for interest, the second version, on the next partstudio tab along, has just a point on the sketch. The hole command is used to make one hole, and then the "face pattern" tool is used to make the other holes.
There many other ways of doing this so these are just 2 examples.
Hope that helps,

thank you for your answer.
Yes i found coincidentally, i extrude all of the circles and cut out the little circles from the big, but your method is way easier.
I wish you a nice weekend.
