Summary: Add option to counterbored hole on a from - to basis.
i,e., from the opposite surface to the sketch plane surface (180 deg ut)
Description: I would it was possible to make a counterbored hole where the user defined the centerpoint of the hole, then length of the hole, then the bore depth extended thru the rest of the part.
How Used: I commonly make counterbored holes where the "top" surface is not smooth or perpendicular to the hole. This is very common for castings where the bore is used to make a flat spot on the part where the bolt/washer will rest. However, with the current Hole command, the user has to make an auxillary work plane and then calculate the proper hole depth. It would be easier for the designer to use the information that is easily available (i.e. the point where the hole is on the flat side of the part, the length of the hole and the size of the countersink).
