PiotrekL,

First make sure your shaft (cylinder) was created from a user sketch plane at your required distance out & make sure shaft extrudes towards the face instead of out of it.

You need to create the angled surface before the shaft is created.

So, pull your EOP marker up above the shaft so you can create your angled feature before the shaft.

To create the angle, I would set up a sketch on the center plane perpendicular to the work face & extrude a triangle cut but don't worry about those 2 radiuses at the ends yet.

You can extruded those features onto the surface after your angle cut

See sample file attached. Hope this is what you want or similar.

Please post the file here. Maybe a face draft would do the job, but without the file we're just guessing.
