Projecting onto nearest plane

Is there a way to project Points or Center Line elements from features/links/constructions up to the nearest plane?

If I constructed a Circle from a series of holes in a Bolt Circle, that constructed feature would lie below the top_plane of the part. I am guessing, but wouldn't any attempt at linear measurement be skewed in -Z, making it a longer distance (hypotenuse).

So for the sake of example, how would one project that bolt circle center point up to the top plane so they can take a true linear distance or caliper measurement?

As always thank you all! 😃

In the distance characteristic you can select whether you want the direct (3D) distance or the distance in X, Y or Z. So projection happens automatically.

Drop in a Projection, select the circle and plane desired.
You will now have a point from the center of the Circle at the desired Plane.
