OK, I have a steel tube at 18in.. I want to 45 one end. I cannot find the process. Need Direction. Pleeeease?

More info...  Do you want to modify it IN the content center, or have you placed it in an assembly and you want to modify it there?

I have it in the assembly constrained to one end, but the portion I want to 45 is not constrained.

Double click the part in your assembly to activate it.  Add a 45 degree cut extrusion on the end you need it on.

Finish the sketch and select the Extrude tool, select the profile and set it to remove material, symetrically, through all... as here:

Hit ok, and this is what you should have:

Have you had much Inventor training on basic modeling techniques?  If not, hit the Get Started toolbar, and run though some of the basic tutorials.

Or am I still not seeing what you want to do?

Hey I appreciate it!

You could also create a chamfer at the outermost edge, then you wouldn't need a sketch.
