  • We will now attack the 8 dots on the top face. To do this, since they are a repetition of a same feature, we will use the handy Linear pattern tool of the Part Design Workbench, which allows to model once and repeat the shape.
  • Start by selecting the top face of our block
  • Create a New sketch.
  • Create two circles.
  • For each circle, select it and add a Radius Constraint of 3.6mm to each of them
  • Import the left edge of the base face with the External geometry tool.
  • Place two vertical constraints and two horizontal constraints of 6mm between the center point of each circle and the corner points of the imported edge, so each circle has its center at 6mm from the border of the face:
