Video showing how to create a plane on a cylindrical face
(OP)
I created this a while a go and wanted to share that.
let me know what guys you think.

RE: Video showing how to create a plane on a cylindrical face
A couple of points though;
1) You could have eliminated the need for creating the angled plane through the centre of the ring and then offsetting the second plane. If you had made the outer end of the angled construction line coincident with the perimeter of the ring, you could have placed a plane tangential to the perimeter at the correct angle by selecting the outer end instead of the inner end. This would then make the plane associative to the diameter rather than the planes' offset dimension.
2) You can place the locating "point" for a Hole Wizard hole directly onto the outer diameter. There is no need to create extra planes. See FAQ559-1150. Again the angled construction line could have been used to constrain the point. An alternative to the construction line could be to use a plane which has been angled about the axis of the part & the point constrained to the planes.

You're absolutely right. I'm aware of what you've mentioned, especially point #2. It's just that I was so happy to find a reliable file hosting site, that I uploaded the first file I found on my HD.
I will be creating more videos and sharing them with the forum soon.

We had a similar one. Check it out and see if you like it?? We like to use the 2d sketch to locate the holes insertion point. We have had issues with inexperience operators and the snapping of dimensions in 3d sketches.

your video got me thinking of a different way of approaching this task. I've just finished recording this one. let me know what you think.

I liked that video. Looks like a good way of doing it! Never thought of that one...

I like them. Keep them coming. Kinda like SolidProfessor lite. Thanks.
