I’m not at all familiar w/solid works but most mechanical drawings I’ve worked with just show the location of the hole and specify the thread size in a note. There’s really not much point in drawing it in detail.

I got it now. Oddly enough, I actually have to place it at the center. Luckily there’s a way to find it 🙂
