-Select the top edge of the hole and an edge of the underside of the fastener (ie: the annulus)
-Run the macro, which assigns a concentric, coincident, and parallel mate, fully defining the fastener.
Now THAT would be tremendously useful. I'd write it myself, but I'm up to my eyeballs in paperwork right now. =/

My favorite macro, and the only one I really use, is one that toggles between selecting hidden lines and not. During normal use I have this one turned off. When I need to mate to an internal edge or make a line in an in context sketch line up with an existing feature I switch to wireframe mode and toggle this macro. I kludged this one together from other peoples work, but the final product is better than the sum of its parts. Instead of having one macro to turn the option on and another to turn it off this macro toggles between the two states. It also lets you know whats going on by giving feedback in the system tray.

Here is what the "record" writes, but when I run it, it doesnt work.
Dim swApp As Object
Dim Part As Object
Dim SelMgr As Object
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
Dim longstatus As Long, longwarnings As Long
Dim Feature As Object
Sub main()
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set SelMgr = Part.SelectionManager
boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID2("part1@assem1", "COMPONENT", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing, 0)
Part.CompConfigProperties4 2, 0, True, "config1", False
Part.ClearSelection2 True
boolstatus = Part.EditRebuild3
End Sub

Part.CompConfigProperties4 2, 0, True, "config1", False
It should be:
Part.CompConfigProperties4 2, 0, True, True, "config1", False
