I am trying to create a solid with multiple countersink holes in it.

First I create a Rectangle in 2d then using the pushpull tool, I give it some depth in the z axis
next I switch to plane view, and create a countersink hole, all is good up to this point
next, using the linear duplicate tool, i select the countersink hole and setup the x/y dims,
I also set as associative
The duplicate creates multiple countersink holes but also duplicates the the solid that the countersink hole is in
I can not seem to deselect the rectangle solid when performing the linear duplicate. what step am I missing.

The Linear Duplicate tool does not recognize features /faces. It selects and duplicates the entire part. Try using the direct edit features of the Gripper as shown in the video "Direct Edit with The Gripper" below.

Tim, Thank you for the help with the Linear Duplicate question, I watched the video which made it very clear, and finished my project.
I just purchased the software a few days ago, and still have a lot to learn, i have no previous 3D experience, so I appreciate the help very much.
Thank you again
Bob
