Abstract: A turbine engine structure is provided that includes a wall having an exterior surface defining an internal passage. A locating hole extends through the wall from the exterior surface to the passage. A film hole is recessed in the exterior surface and adjoins the locating hole. The film hole and locating hole are in communication with the passage. The locating hole is formed during the casting process in which a core is supported with a locating pin. Upon removal of the locating pin, the locating hole is formed. The locating holes can be used to determine a position of features of the structure for subsequent processing operations of the structure. For example, film holes are machined in the exterior surface, such as by an electrical discharge machining process, to intersect the locating holes.
