I've encountered a few problems on Solid Edge st4.
I can't make protrusion cutouts or holes in curved surfaces. Example: I create a cylinder and I want to make holes in it. But not on planar tops rather in curved surface that generates it. This is a simple example, but if I want create a revolved object with a curved generator, like a bottle or something, and want to create holes in it.

How can I create more complex extruded objects with a 3D path or axis and with different profiles within? I think that's something that combines swept and lofted protrusions.
 
I made tangent plane,but i cant take true dimensions from where i want,although i cant do holes on a cylider..
