Pierce Point Two Cylinders

Lukas
I am trying to pierce the larger highlighted cylinder with the smaller highlighted cylinder and the pierce point ("PNT_F_PIERCE") is showing up on the wrong side of the larger cylinder. Can anyone please explain a simple fix? The small hole is an autocylinder and the large ID is a constructed cylinder from points.

I'm just trying to level (and translate 2 axis) to the large cylinder and then rotate (and translate the remaining axis) to the small hole. Maybe I shouldn't even bother creating a pierce point? I figured that would be more accurate/repeatable than rotating to a short hole, though. Especially because that hole is threaded.

I think it matters which side of the large cylinder is pierced because if the hole was crooked then the constructed point would extrapolate father...

  • Construct a reverse cylinder from your small cylinder (to reverse its vector direction) and then pierce the large cylinder with the reverse cylinder. Pierce points are based on the direction of the piercing feature - looks like the vector of your small cylinder runs from left to right, because the resultant pierce point is on the left-hand side.
