Hi, New to the forums. I would like to know how to "reference" another sketch/feature to create a circle. I have a 3" thick part with a 3.150 hole through it. I want to create a counter bore of this hole on the back side of the part. I want to be able to reference the existing hole and make the new circle .050 larger in diameter or 3.200. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Dave
Hi Dave and welcome to the forums.
You should be able to right-click on the sketch in your feature tree and tell it to be "shown", and then make sure under your "Eyeglasses" you have "show sketches" selected. Now you should be able to see the reference circle showing up in your new sketch. You now can add a concentric relationship between the center point of your old and new circle and a diameter to fully define the new one. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forum. Use the "Offset Entities" sketch tool. Set the distance to .050 and select the hole edge.
Use the edge of the hole (or the underlying sketch used to create the hole) and use the Offset tool to create the sketch for the counterbore.
Thanks everybody for your responses. The offset entities is what I needed.
Thanks again,
Dave
