Hi everybody
I´m trying automatize the placements of T slots via ifeature. I need be able to put slots in faces paralells to XZ or YZ planes, whith its simmetry line parallels to Z axis and minor width to the top.
In addiction to measures, I want define locating also automatically,
without manually translate/rotate its profile after complete the Ifeature insertion.
To achieve this, I select a top line and a left line to locate the T-slot.
Initially I used a face paralell to XZ plane to generate the Extrude/Subtract
feature, and so I extracted the feature, as know.
But when I try apply the Ifeature in the ortogonal face, Inventor alway rotate the sketch,
seems using the center of selected face ora other point.
I know that Inventor always make a rotation of the sketch origin in this situation, but
is there a way to avoid this and put the slot in the right way, automatically, using ifeatures?

Many thanks in advance!
