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.

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