How to tilt a feature or component in a part?

[johnhska8]

Hi all, I've got a part (please see attached) that I need to modify such that the pocket in the front face of this thing needs to be tilted 1deg (i.e. one would see the 1deg pocket tilt in a hidden side view of the part; tilted 'downward' -1deg in that sort of view).  Ideally the tilt would center or 'pivot' about the top face of the 2-56 hole in the floor of the pocket.

I know I could just kill off the entire sketch/component that is the pocket and its two holes and start over with a tilted reference plane defined to sketch the new tilted pocket on (that's how I think I'd do it at any rate--) and extrude-cut it, etc., but, I'm wondering if there's a really slick way to simply tilt the existing pocket feature and holes in the pocket, without starting the feature over from scratch?  In my still pretty early Fusion Design journey, I don't know how to do that...thanks--Charley in Colorado

Take a look at the video. I hope I am tilting it the correct way, if not simply rotate the construction plane or change the draft angle.  Model is attached.

Here is a video of another way of doing what you desire.  It uses only construction features and the Replace Face command.  Model attached.

John, absolutely awesome, thanks.  You even got the angle direction right : )  Thanks very much for taking time to make the video, this is yet another bit that I'll sure internalize and use again in future.  "Draft" here is not something I've learned until now, I'll study that for sure.  Thanks again--Charley

Very interesting, thanks, I’ll sure dissect this approach too, and learn yet some more tools that are new to me—several, in this case.  I can see how comparing these two different approaches to the same problem can sort of help fill in the gaps in my available techniques and tools here, for sure. —
