Yeah, that was my idea too, but how do I then fix the imported bottle component to the DWG sketch? I’ve tried aliging the base sketch line from the bottle to a line drawn at the tube surface between the 2 points, but that doesnt work. Also moving point to point didnt do the trick. Is there another way to connect the dots?

Ah, I forgot. Here is my bottle:

I join the sketch to the holes on the bottle.

OK, but how do I join the sketch to the holes? Wheres this function/button/shortcut in Fusion?

The tricky part is getting the joint to snap to the correct spots on the line. on a PC, hold CTRL when you hover over the line to lock the selection points.

Yes! Thanks! And the tricky part in this case was me not realising the Joint command did what it does. Man, it is very satisfying building a bike like this and just have other sizes generated including the build drawing and even the parts I want printed.
I do find I have to unlearn a lot of the 15+ years I worked with Autocad and 3D studio Viz as Fusion is almost working in the opposite direction.
