Transfering holes in Autodesk Inventor

Transfering holes in Autodesk Inventor

(OP)
What is the quickest way to transfer hole location from one part to another in Inventor?
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions.

RE: Transfering holes in Autodesk Inventor

Edit the second part in context.  Then project the geometry of the holes in the other part.  This can be done adaptively or non-adaptively.

Thank you Sean for your response. I wasn't specific enough when i posted this question. I would like to be able to edit transered hole. With projecting  hole location the second hole will have same characteristics as the original one, as far as i understand. In my specific example, i would like to transer a tapped hole and make the other one a clearance hole. Any suggestions? As always, responses greatly appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Transfering holes in Autodesk Inventor

Well, you don't project holes, only a geometry in sketch mode. It's up to you how to use that geometry afterwards. It makes sense to try.

RE: Transfering holes in Autodesk Inventor

alpharam is correct, you are only projecting the geometry of the hole. You do not need to use this "circle" that is projected for anything. You can simply use the center point as the center of a new hole (tapped if you want).
You can also use the projected geometry to dimension to other sketch points. You can easily project an edge and then dimension or constrain any other (drawn not projected) sketch parts.
