I drew the first tab top left, from there what is the expected way to add the other 3 mounting tabs?
- I first tried to mirror the top left one with "create mirrored feature", that worked once, when I tried to mirror the two of them it failed and said one can't mirror a mirror.
- I tried to draw all f4 mounting tabs (rectangles with holes in them) in the same sketch but got errors, and would only extrude one of them. Although if its two separate circles (like the lego block tutorial) then it can extrude 2 parts, so I don't understand the difference between when one can extrude one feature, or multiple features.
- I tried to use "create a linear pattern feature", but I can only go in one axis, not specify the direction in 2 axis.
- I tried to use clone but it clones the whole body not just the feature.
If one draws one mounting tab top left, how does one clone the rest of them? mounting tabs in 4 positions (note they are not mirrored in the y axis but have an offset)?
