Alibre' Design: Working with Planes.

When you don't have a flat surface to start a sketch from, you need top create a plane. This tutorial will work you through the basics on how to create a series of planes to add a spigot to a round cylinder.

Hello!
I have a situation where I need to put a hole through a cylindrical object.
I *think* I understand how to put holes into a cylinder, thanks to this video.
How do I do the same operation to add a screw hole?

[@ELpolacko]

The function would be the same. Or, I'd your cylinder is in an axis and your needed hole is perpendicular to one of the existing planes, you can sketch your hole and extrude through the wall you need.
I might have to make a video on how.

@ELpolacko I would like to see a video on this. I am still having a lot of trouble trying to do this. I think this should not be this difficult. I should be able to select a cylinder and put a plane tangent to it, then adjust it to where I need it.
