Hi… I’ve been trying to use 123d design and there some issues which elude me. For example say i create a reactangle and i wish to place a hole in it from side to side, what i do, is sketch a circle on one of rectangle faces, and exrude it to the other side of the rectangle, this creates a hole, but i try to MOVE the hole by clicking on the inner hole’s face and choose tweak, it won’t move. Not sure why, trying to click on the hole’s circle edge and trying to move that won’t help either. another issue is if i’d like to create a larger circle around the hole (a sort of an offset) i can’t. Or when trying to create a profile and then extruding it, operations on the extruded shape (move the edges) doesn’t work. Another example is creating a rectangle and filleing 4 opposite edges, (2 on each side) , then trying to click on the fillaed faces and pull it (lengthining the shape) doesn’t always work either

You are trying to use it like blender or maya or 3ds max. (you cant grab a corner or edge and pull/push here)
123d Design is all about solids; add, subtract, extrude, chamfer, filet, hollow. Then,
if you are comfortable with sketches, then you can also use things like loft, revolve, split, etc.
Once you wrap your head around 123D, then move to Fusion 360 and you will never use anything else again.
(there are multiple youtube videos of both programs showing how to use most of the tools.
