I tried using the workpoint method with the hole in the bet part. When you bend the part, the workpoint remains on the sketchplane. This is also true if you try using a work plane or a work axis.
Sorry I don't have any better ideas

I think I would use a Mate to a Workpoint, plus an additional constraint. It wouuld help to post the part so we can see exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

I think the reason you cannot select the hole in the bent part is as
suggested, the hole was put in prior to bending so in the bent shape it is
no longer a round hole but an oval. You could try putting in an addational
part that is in the same position the hole is in and then constaraining the
bracket to that instead. A work around that is not clean but will accomplish
what you need to do.

I am trying to constrain a circular hole in a square bracket to a hole in
a cylinder that was formed by the bend command.
After the part was bent, I can't select the hole in the bent part for the
insert constraint. When I suppress the bend feature and constrain the
bracket and the cylinder, it works fine. When I unsuppressed the bend, the
constraint fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill
