Help with creating a drilling guide

I'd like to 3D print a couple of drilling guides for the 2x1 and 1x1 MAX tubing we are using to build a robot. This tubing has holes in a grid pattern. I have drawings of the tubing from Revrobotics.com in Onshape. Based on some of the tutorials I've done here, I think I should be able to use/project the hole pattern from the tubing drawing onto the sketch of my drill guide, but I can't even figure out how to get the tubing drawing into the document containing my drill guide sketch. Total newbie here so thanks in advance for your patience!

    You can either use a "derive" feature in your part studio to bring your reference part in (probably the best option), or you can create your part studio "in context" from your assembly.
