In this section, we introduce the work axis command. We will use the work axis and a work plane to simplify creating two intersecting holes.
-
Start the Hole command. The Placement option From Sketch is active.
- Select the far end of the 6-mm line for the hole center location. Set the hole depth to 14 mm.
- Set the hole type to tapped. Change the thread type to ANSI Metric M Profile. Set the size to 5 and the designation to M5 x 0.8.
- Click OK to finish the command and create the tapped hole.

command to display work axis options. 
Then select Through Center of Circular or Elliptical Edge from the Axis drop-down menu. Move your cursor over the tapped hole, and click to place the Work Axis when you see the preview image of the axis. -

Plane
command to display work plane options. 
Select Angle to Plane around Edge from the Plane drop-down menu. Pick the front face of the part and the work axis as shown. Change the Angle in the value input box to 0, and then pick the green check mark to create the work plane. 
- Start a new sketch on the front face of the revolved shape.
- Create a vertical line on the center point. Add a 12.5-mm dimension to the line.

Click

Point
. Place a center point at the end of the vertical line to allow the Hole command to detect and use the Center Point as a hole location. Finish the sketch. 
- Start the Hole command. The Center Point is selected.
- Set the hole diameter to 4mm. In the Termination drop down, select To and then pick the work plane that passes through the tapped hole as the termination location.
- Click OK to finish the command and create the hole. If you edit the sketch that locates the tapped hole, the work plane and the 4-mm hole that terminates on the plane will reposition.
Tip: The cutaway image was created by starting a sketch on the YZ Origin plane, then choosing Slice Graphics from the context menu. It is not required for this exercise.
