Newbie issue: can't find snap for hole

Hello all and TIA. So I'm drilling a hole through a solid. In previous versions of Inventor, I remember a setting in the popup menu where I'd ask it to find the Centerpoint of an arc or circle. Now, in both 2021 and 2023, I don't see that option, and I can't see a simple way to make Inventor drill a hole through the CP of an (extruded solid of an) arc or circle. I just have to randomly place it on the object. What am I not seeing?

Hi,

 

  1. Select the face where you want to place the hole
  2. Select the arc/circle to place the hole concentric

In the new Hole command dialog, when you select the center location, you can edit the associated sketch and then add constraints or dimensions on the fly in order to put the hole where you need it to go.  You can edit this sketch without exiting the hole command.  On the Sketch ribbon you will see Return to Hole, which then allows you to complete the process.
