Hello,

I am trying to draw a line at the center of a hole to simulate a bolt connecting two pieces of plate. I can place construction point at the center-line of all the holes and make them concentric. The point are on different sketches while no two points are on one sketch for me to draw a line. I cannot figure out how to connect the line bodies from the face of one plate to the face of another plate along the centerline of the holes!!! I have a simple square plate with 4 holes on the top flange of the W24. I can put the top construction points at the center of the top holes; however the bottom holes have to do on different sketches b/c of the web? If I try to make all the construction points on one sketch, I cannot selected the underside of the flange face to place those points concentric. This is what made me use different sketches. I am struggling to make a line.

Any pointers would be great. I know there is an easy solution...
