I made a simple sketch on the XY plane - a square 50mmx50mm.
I then padded it out in Z to a height of 50mm
I then selected the top face to place a rectangular array of 4 bolt holes.
I know that this is not recommended due to TNP but I figured that these are the last features to be added on the real model
so perhaps it wont matter.
I constrained the first hole and double clicked on that sketch in the model.
The rectangular array tool is greyed out so I am doing something wrong.
The rectangular array tool has the following instructions ( extract ).
Usage
Select sketcher elements in task panel or in 3D view.
There are several ways to invoke the command:
Press the Sketcher RectangularArray Rectangular array button.
Select the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Sketcher RectangularArray Rectangular array option from the menu.
But the tool is greyed out
I am doing this on a 50 cube as a test before working on the real model.
I have included the file for reference
What am I doing wrong?
