rotate a mounting hole keeping one hole fixed and relationship unchanged.

[stuart_chale]

Still a novice and mostly using Fusion for 3D prints.  Currently working on a mount for a microswitch.  2 holes for the switch.  The second hole is displaced from the first by 22.2 mm lengthwise and 13.3mm width wise.

I have constrained the first hole to edges of the plate 30mm from each end and added constraints from the first hole to the second hole by the above measurement.

What I am trying to do is simply rotate the 2nd hole while keeping the first hole at 30mm from the 2 edges while keeping the 2 displacement measurements the same.  Doing this to fine tune the position for activation of the microswitch.  I tried editing the first hole and rotating it but that didn't change the second hole.  If I move the second hole I lose the displacement measurements.

Screenshot of project and Fusion file attached.

Thank you,

Stuart

in certain circumstances, dimensions constrain themselves to measure just vert/horizontal, effectively locking the point dimensioned in place.  dimension some construction lines instead.

Here is another way to visualize the position. Drag the circle along the arc.

Dimension angle as needed.

Appreciatew the reply I need to learn more about the use of construction lines

Appreciate the response I could have used the large circle and just moved the second hole by eye, but the use of the constraint makes it work properly.

Thank you

I actually came up with one more solution while lying in bed 🙂

Simply add a third constraint of measurement from one hole to the other and then get rid of the original horizontal and vertical constraints.  Then the second hole can also rotate in a circle around the first.

As always I appreciate the replies.
