Tutorial: Creating a Circular Pattern
Follow these steps to get practice and create Circular Pattern features:
1. Draw a square block on the Top plane centered on the origin, 4 inches on each side,
.5-inch-thick extruded Mid Plane with .5-inch chamfers on the four corners.
2. Preselect the top face of the block, and start the Hole Wizard. Select a counterbored hole
for a 10-32 socket-head cap screw, and place it as shown in Figure 9.32.

3. Create an axis using the Front and Right planes. Choose Insert ➢ Reference
Geometry ➢ Axis. Select the Two Planes option, and then select Front and Right planes
from the flyout FeatureManager. (Click the bar that says Axis at the top of the
PropertyManager to access the flyout FeatureManager.) This creates an axis in the
center of the rectangular part.
