How to extrude a hole between two points (Sketches). It is on an angle.

jerry_scott022

Hi, how do I project a hole between two sides on an angle? 

S1mon

You can use the direction option to extrude along the angle. The cross section will only be round when parallel to the front plane. If you want a cylindrical hole, you’ll need a different approach.

S1mon

You can create a plane normal to the angled edge, and then sketch a circle to extrude, or sweep. You could also one of several custom features which will create a cylinder along a line, and then extend the ends and Boolean.

A different approach, but working and editable

This does not result in a round hole. Here it is extruded at 45 deg instead of 10 deg so its more obvious:

Here is a plane method.

Thanks S1mon, Understood.  So taking a different approach, would you start horizontal then bring two parts together to form one?

Hello Jerry. You could make a sketch on the Right plane and position a circle to extrude then Extrude/remove in two different directions. - Scotty

You could also use the hole feature with a mate connector using "re-align" (an you might also need to add a z offset.
A revolved cut would also work.

Thank you all, and dirk for showing the way.  Brilliant

Or just using the hole feature with an adjusted mate connector:

This way you don't need any extra features or geometry:

Thanks Nick, taken a copy so that I can see how this is done.  Cheers for the model.

Thanks Nick and Dirk, two weeks on learning Onshape, and have seen some results now.  
F&P dishwasher part fits and keeps the rack in place. Thanks everyone.

Always love it when a plan come's together

Nice color:)
