Constrain New sketch to existing sketch

Constrain New sketch to existing sketch

Constrain New sketch to existing sketch

(OP)
Hello,

Is there anyone who can tell me which customer default I need to change in Nx8.5 so that I can begin a new sketch, but constrain to an existing sketch? For a simple example: I have a square plate with a slot in it as my first sketch. I extrude a .5" thick solid from the sketch. I wish to now create a new sketch which will be a circle or "starter hole" for CNC programming purposes and constrain it to my slot sketch. I know I have been able to do this with Nx4.0 and I think Nx7.5. When I try this in Nx8.5 It will not pick up the existing slot sketch as something to constrain to.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...
