Projecting surface features/Sketch objects to PCB outline

This is harder than it would seem to be. I have a project where I need to "Drill" holes in my PCB relative to their position on another component. In this illustration its the 4 grey cylinders I need to subtract from my PCB. Yes, I know I have components to move!

Since PCB outlines do not appear to behave like bodies, components, or really even sketches, the traditional method of using Combine:Cut does not appear to work.

 

Nor does it seem that you can project onto the PCB outline from a sketch or body face.

 

I even tried importing a DXF, but once I import the DXF into the PCB outline I lose the ability to Move/Copy/Align the imported sketch.

Maybe this post needs to be moved to the Workflow forum? If so can a moderator move it? I can't seem to do it.
