rotating a hole

I'm trying to put a small hole in a Body, but the surface I'm putting it in is not perpendicular or square to a plane. Now that I have the hole, I need to rotate it to get it to be square with the suface. The move option doesn't seem to work for me. Any suggestions?

 

Oh, I have included a screenshot showing the location of the hole and also hey fusion file.

Change the initial extrusion to Symmetric, then Revolve the hole:

I'm afraid I'm still too new to Fuson as I don't understand "changing extrusion to symmetric" ????

1. suppress hole (extrude) 

2. create profile for revolve

3. revolve (cut) profile around centerline

Simply edit the original extrusion feature and change the Direction to Symmetric.  @g-andresen's video shows the steps used to create the hole aligned in the frame.

I do appreciate your response and the response of ET French, but I am 83 old dog trying to learn new tricks! I have not been ignoring your instructions and have been wrestling with trying to follow them but I'm too much of a newbie, so it is taking me too much time to learn this. So, for now, I will just go ahead and print out the basic shape and drill out that silly hole by hand. 😜

 

I will continue learning Fusion with simpler objects for now.

Hi,

Why do you want to do without the “hole” created by a rotating profile?

It is present in the file provided by @etfrench .

It's not that I want to do without the hole it's just that my understanding of Fusion is not yet sufficient to follow his directions and it's taking too long to mess with this when I can do it myself much faster.
Thanks for trying to help.
