Ok Newbie here (fiddled with CAD for a couple decades, but never much other then a few quick drawings.)


I'm trying to do a counter bore (or simple hole/counter sink) On a solid that at an angle from the XYZ. I can select the face no prob, but how do I locate it precisely on the face?

I had been doing this the hard way of making a second solid, placing into the first and doing a subtraction. Works but is a bit rough roundabout way.

On a similar vane, on an assembly drawing, any tricks to lining up the part hole, bolt, washer, and nut on an angled face?

Thanks.

XYZ location is only available to through hole, not CB/CS do not offer a XYZ position(s) Point too seems counter intuitive for this operation (I have been using lines to locate an intersection for the second solid method)

I'm sure I'm missing a step/concept.

Thanks Nick. That seemed to be the missing piece. Though I couldn't seem to place a single point on the surface, but the distributed points worked (just need to remember to put points on their own layer to delete later)
