So I always find it odd that SW can show you the preview of what you want and yet still spit an error at you. In todays example I am doing a simple grease zerk hole. Preview shows what I want and I still get a error code? Am I doing something wrong or is SW just being a pain?

Can you show the previous page of the Hole Wizard property manager? Or at least check to make sure you have the correct body selected?

Also, you don't necessarily need the tangent plane for the hole. You can place hole wizard holes on the sides of cylinders. Then constrain them like any 3D sketch.

I get a similar error if the plane is below the face of the cylinder.
