Flat-Head Screw Hole

PAH

How do I place Flat-Head Screw Holes on a curved surface? I need to specify the location so that they align with the mating part. I have included a simple sketch and would like to add the holes on the inside of the part so the screws point outward.

Thanks for any help,

If you click this button 
Then select a line that intersects the center point of the face, it should work...  don't forget to select parts for merge scope. And flip direction as necessary

This is how I'd do it...

If this is done on a browser, you can skip the mate connectors and use the implied mate connectors in the hole feature..

John,

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I want to do but am having troubles. I saw a mating connector in you sketch tree but not sure how it got there. 

I recreated my scenario with an offset plane and created the location for the holes. I would like to have a clearance hole on the outside part and then thread on the inside part.

If you could show me using the free screen cast that would be appreciated. https://screencast-o-matic.com/

Here is my new model with two parts and a screen shot of where I am stuck.
