Milling holes outside of my solid for use in two-sided flip milling

I'm a hobbyist... what I'm trying to do is  drill .2503" holes in the stock in a particular pattern (dimensioned relative my model) that match a set of holes drilled into the spoil board so that I can correctly index the piece on both sides.

 

I have my model drawn, and am trying to figure out how to tell fusion to bore holes outside of the model?  I've created sketches of both points where I want to drill, as well as circles where I want to drill. But when I create a bore or radial path, I am unable to select either of them (only option is for selecting "circular faces"). 

 

If I use drill, I can select the points. However, I am trying to use a 1/8" bit to drill a .2503 diameter hole in order to fit steel dowel pins. So I don't think using drill will work.

 

Can anybody help?
