IFX - Place Screw on cylindrical surface

How to insert screws by positioning the screw on a cylindrical surface?

 

I'm using Creo+ and I didn't find any configuration that enables the selection of cylindrical surfaces for positioning the screw head and washer. The red surface shows the location for inserting the screw head.

This is the expected end result:

 Is there any automatic way for this positioning?

Create a plane tangent to the red surface at the hole center, then place your washer and screw.

Hi BenLoosli,

 

Thank's for your help, but I would like a solution within the IFX tool. I know an I have already done other alternatives.
I think this function should already be common in IFX but it isn't. I would like to know if there is any setting that changes this.

 

Tks.
