How to create a "center mark" for weld stud using hole feature

Howdy

 

I want to create a just the cone of a hole in part for locating a weld stud.

 

The guys use stud welding gun, I want to locate the position and create a detent by just touching the tubing wall with drill while it's in the CNC mill.

 

Can't seem to figure out how to do this in Inventor.  It seems to have the facility for a drill point, but it's greyed out.  There are other way to create this geometry sure, but it should be a no brainer with hole feature.

 

Anyone?  If this isn't possible with hole feature, let me know and I'll revolve it.

 

Thanks!

Sounds like you are missing a unconsumed sketch with a Center point. The other method might be to create a iFeature rather than having to go through the Hole command each time.

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file
