If I create a newbody and add a hole to this new body,

what is controlling the holes initial direction vector?


I have two reference inputs for the hole,

a plane and a point. If I invert the orientation of said plane,

the hole direction is maintained.

Any ideas as to why and how to take control of it.


Thanxs

FYI,

It seems that the hole direction is controlled by the sketch ( hole point centre definition)
and hence its direction is based on the H-V axis. So if you define the sketch as position instead of sliding
you then have control of the orientation.
