Hole intersecting datum method? 1

[heythere]

What's a good way to, say, get a hole through 2 different components in an assembly at exactly the same point? I create a datum in one component, make an intersection curve, then use a sketch to make a hole using that intersection curve. Then I wave over the datum to the other component and do the same thing. Alot of work to get a screw hole in the same place for two assemblies, ie base and post. Any tips?

Thanks

Make the assembly the displayed and work part then use the hole command (type: hole series) to create a hole through multiple components. The holes will be created at the assembly level.

Great thank you! Do you know if the "Create Interpart Link" can achieve the same result? I'm never able to use it so I wasn't sure if it was a different licence tier or not... Any light on the subject appreciated!
