The Fusion forum was very helpful -

you either need to make the squares in the sketch 1 that created the body and then you can cut the body

or if you end up on sketch 3 with just squares - you can sketch another circle or Project the body into sketch 3 - and then you can cut

Yes, sketches need to be independant most times, at least my old school training leans that way. I always try to design my part like I would manufacture it. The Screencast shows some other neat press/pull techniques by using join, cut and new body. Lots of ways to skin this cat.

Thanks - I tried that and could not get it to cut using the outside - I will need to try again

I can see how you might use project if you had imported the dxf and had all sketches defined as a single sketch. Even in Solidworks, I always created my main body with a simple sketch and extrude, basically the raw stock size. I then followed with subsequent sketches to remove material/features. If your are a MasterCam user, you are likely to be importing sketches from other CAD programs and therefore a projection to a surface or plane would be logical route.
