Of course not, and rereading I admit that I simply forgot it in my first post, and posted only the - subjective - part of my answer .

Our posts were implying it was not possible but we were not clear enough.

It's not clear to me what you want. If you use an AttachmentOffset with a combination of translation and rotation the rotation is done first. To reverse this you need an additional DatumPlane.

You should use PartDesign_Hole for a counterbore : https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 28#p618124

(select a vertex, Z,O (=Sketcher_SelectOrigin), C (= Sketcher_ConstrainCoincident)
(suppress this coincidence)

* Show only the 1st pad
* Show/hide a DatumDlane (to see the face to use)
* Change its support : '...' -> Clear -> Select face -> OK
(* move it upstream in the construction tree : PartDesign_MoveFeatureInTree)

You should create you DatumPlane on the first face possible.

No error for me but very slow.

You should use more often PartDesign_Revolution and perhaps PartDesign_WizardShaft
