    The book is vague to me. I want to put a hole on to a curved surface,
    they tell me to use hole wizard and 3D sketch tool. I am really not
    sure how to approach this.
    Do I pick the curved surface and put a point on the surface and try to
    locate with 3D dimension? Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

    I typically create a plane prior to creating a hole in a non planar surface.
    Place the plane relative to your part and place the hole on the plane to
    intersect the part.

    Just click on your curved surface and then click on your hole wizard
    icon (or insert/features/hole/wizard)
