Curved Shapes

Curved Shapes

(OP)
I'm still new to inventor, so this might be an easy problem.  I'm trying to draw a sheet metal part that is rolled on a jig.  That part is okay.  My problem is that there are holes in it on a rounded surface.  The holes are put in when the part is flat.  So how can I get my workplane tangent to that section so my holes are straight?
Any help is great.

RE: Curved Shapes

Since you are actually putting the holes in before forming, you should probably "unfold" the part, then put the holes in.
