holes true disk 45°

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Quick question, i have a few holes trueout a disk. (used circular pattern)

Is there a simple way to have them tilt 45° true the disk instead of right true the disk?

Do you want all the holes at 45d, if so, you would need to create a work plane at 45d for your first holes sketch to reside on.

Attach your file here if you can't figure it out.

Here is the file, very simple but i dont know how to create a 45° plane to do this.

Can someone explain this?

is this what you want...attached

Cant open it, database model is to new its 17 mine is 16. i use 2012 pro

This question comes up 2 or 3 times a month.

Simply Revolve-Cut an angled rectangle (image on left).

or

Create a sketch line at desired angle and then create workplane at end of angled line perpendicular to the line by selecting the line and endpoint.  Now you have a workplane on which to place sketch point for the angled hole. (image on right)

BTW - you should state when you are not using the latest version of Inventor (2013).

That is why I asked you to attach a trivial file - so that I could see what version you are using.

Sorry....i using 2013

Interesting , thank you all so far now it just has to face clockwise like this example

Edited your pic

I don't understand this statement.  You can have it any angle you want, facing any way you want.

Attach your new attempt here if you haven't found a solution.

I tried to make the holes (strugeling) anyway how can you get them paralel to the border of the circle? or can you just choose the angle afterwords?

[JDMather]

I don't understand the latest question.

Can you attach

1. a traditional AutoCAD 2D views?

2. a scanned hand sketch?
3. a software freehand sketch?

4. your latest attempt

..maybe Igor will show his mind reading ability and post the solution.

I'm not Igor, but here's my attempt at mind-reading.

Thats what i was looking for, i will try to recreate this when i find some time, thank u sbixler

There are a number of other ways to create the same feature.  Instead of point and axis, I could have created a workplane at the end of the sketch line, created a sketch on it and projected the line to a sketch point, then used this for creating the hole.  Or I could have created a workplane at 45° through the original sketch point, etc.

It would be an interesting exercise to work out all the different ways to reasonably accomplish this.
