Proizvodnja,

Can you show us a sketch? I am not sure what you want.

In SolidWorks, 2D sketches are attached to a plane. Effectively, you have a plane, and a sketch that is attached to another plane. Try using a 3D sketch. A 3D sketch allows you to attach points and lines at intersections of planes.
 
Hi, Proizvodnja

Create a sketch on the Top plane and add a couple of reference points. Ctrl-select one of the points and the circle and then apply "Pierce" relationship. Do the same to the other point.

Best regards,

Alex
