How to add threaded hole at center of round boss?
How to add threaded hole at center of round boss?
(OP)
I have run into this situation before (Using SW2007) and have yet to figure out the best/easiest method to do this. I have a round boss created with revolve and now would like to add a threaded hole in the center of that boss. System will not allow choosing the center point using the revolve sketch. Can someone help me please?

To locate the point onto the centre of the boss you first need to hover it over the edge of the boss. This will cause the centre and quadrants of the boss to become highlighted, and snap-to enabled.

I have brain freezes everyday going from AutoCAD to SolidWorks and back! ;)
