Unable to drill holes in corner of a pocket? No tool path generated?

Hello Forum,

 

I want to drill four   .125" diameter holes into a piece of aluminum PRIOR to milling out the pocket. I am doing this so I can drop a die stamp into this holder and be able to keep the sharp corners on the small rectangular dies. For some reason Fusion will not generate a tool path? I would drill the four corners, then mill the pocket.

 

Any ideas? It gives the error message:

 

Warning: Cylindrical face is opposite to tool's orientation!

Warning: No holes to drill.

delete the chamfers, or select points, not faces

New problem now, Spot Select worked but the drill holes are not the full depth so I get a collision RED indication on my sim and there would be no deep becking so the 1/8" drill bit is likely to break off!  Any ideas ?

OK you have to select both the Top and the Bottom of the holes for the point select to work.
