Assembly problem - Angle Constraint

[Ameldur]

Hi there,

Having some issues with this assembly, can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I know how to do angle constraints but i cant get it all to match up. Please help.

Attaching the two parts needed and the assembly drawing.

Thanks in advance.

I don't see your *.iam attempt attached?

I didn't attach it 🙂 

Here you go.

I don't see any assembly constraints/joints/relationships (whatever you want to call them).

Have you gone through the Help>Learning Tools>Tutorials?

One possible solution attached.

I havn't done exactly those no, i've done some other tutorials that covered a lot of constraints but not angled. I've played around with it earlier and i got it to lie at a 30 degree angle but it was going to other way, so i deleted all of the constraints and decided to ask for help 🙂 What would cause it to go the other way?

I don't know, you deleted the constraint?

I figured it out now, I redid the insert constraint on my own version and then i managed the angled just fine. Seems to be that the way the insert was going was causing my issue (The angle flipping the wrong way).

Thanks so much for helping me out 🙂

Notice that your XY workplanes have a dark colored side and a light colored side.  The lighter side is the "front" and the darker side is the "back".  The surface normal direction is perpendicular to the "front" side.
