Changing Angles in Sketches with Other Elements

Anonymous

I'm very new to Fusion 360 - my first project is to design a fish tank siphon hose interface that I can 3d print after my original one failed.  I'm trying to use sketch mode to make a ribbed "funnel" that will be pushed into the tube that goes into the fish tank, so I created a parallelogram and added a bunch of ridges along one side, so that I could then do a Revolve to make the full piece. 

 

That took me a bit to figure out, but it's going great... except that I got the bottom measurement off on my initial parallelogram.  I need to move the bottom (the 10.204 mm measurement) out by several mm, but that wreaks all sorts of havoc with the ridge that I made.  Is it possible to "anchor" the circles that form those ridge onto the (now non-existent) angled line so that I can smoothly move them all when I adjust that bottom position?

The easy way would be to:

  1. Delete the two bottom vertical lines.
  2. Select all of the geometry above them.
  3. Move the selected geometry by rotating clockwise around the upper right corner.

If you want to have a parametric design, you want to constrain your sketch. I did a simplified version of your design in this screencast:
