locating orthogonal holes via project to sketch

[Jasper]

I have two orthogonal holes located on adjacent faces of a part (e.g., a cube). I want the center location of one hole to be based on the center location of the other hole.

How can I use project-to-sketch to accomplish this?

thanks,
PJ

Can you upload your 3D Part or a screenshot?

One way to tackle this would be to place a axis in the first hole. You can then either constrain the sketch figure for second hole to that axis, or project the axis to sketch as a reference line.

One approach is to insert an axis along the first hole, use that axis to insert a point on an inserted 45 degree plane, project that point to the sketch on the orthogonal plane.

The resulting sketch can mimic or mirror the original sketch, by reversing the 45 degree plane.

Many ways to do this depending on the intent.
Unless I misunderstand the question, I think the simplest way might be shown in the attached png

Yes this is the way I came up with to, and I'm glad to know about the axis ideas too. Thank you.
