How to create cross holes on round shaft?

dale_10

Hi,

I have created a round shaft that needs a cross hole located at a specific location. I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Is there a tutorial I can learn from?

Thank You

@dale_10 You will need to create a plane at that point.  You can do this a number of ways.  The easiest might be just to offset a plane, sketch a point and use the point tool like this:



If you have a point where you want to place the plane you can draw where the tangent plane needs to go like this:



Or you can use on of the Tangent plane FeatureScript tools like this:



In any case, you can then position the exact location of the center of the hole and use either the hole tool (using a vertex) or a circular sketch and cut that way.  Hope that helps.
