Rotating features in a circular pattern

I am trying to rotate features about a line in a circular pattern but it is not working. When I choose the line for the axis to rotate the features, the description for the line is changed to "edge of sketch" and the rotation does not work. What defines an axis and can I create one for rotation?

Here's link. The slot on the outer diameter is what I am trying to rotate on a circular pattern. I've done it before with success.
Can you leave the failing circular pattern in your document? I'm looking at your document and your sketch line should be fine as an axis, but I'm not sure what you are trying to rotate, and what you mean by failing. Does it create unexpected geometry or is the feature actually red?
The link is public but it's sort of messed up up there ^. You'll notice it says http twice. This should work:

As stated in the error message (accessed by hovering your mouse over the feature name), you need to select "apply per instance":
Just to clear things up:
Having "apply by instance" off something similar to a face pattern using feature selections.
Having "apply by instance" on does the old behavior of feature pattern (re-executes the features in the selection for every pattern instance).
