Hi,
I created a radial pattern of holes around a cone which I then extruded. The holes are rivet positions for another component. The problem is that I cannot join the two components using their respective holes, basically, I do not get a snap/location point in the center of the angled hole on the cone.
Grateful for any advice.
Your sketches are not fully defined - so I will have to start over from scratch.
Could be a while... ...check back later.
Blue lines and white dots should keep you awake at night.
Make use of obvious symmetry about the Origin.
I would use Sheet Metal tools for sheet metal parts.
Sketch can be simplified.
Material is not uniform Thickness?
How will this cone be manufactured without Bends and without uniform thickness?
Will it be three pieces welded together?
How will this angle be measured in the real world?
Why is it not the same angle as the Terminal Leg? Is that intentional?
The Joint works as expected, here.
Other things in the timeline are a little left field.
You have to select the leg first, as the cone can't move.
Might help....
To answer your direct question, you can use the inside wall of the hole, on the tapered side, as your joint origin snap point. The video will show what I mean. As the @TheCADWhisperer mentions, you could improve on your model technique.
