How do I construct a plane at 45° to the axis of a cylinder?
I managed to create a radial plane half way up the cylinder, but cannot find a means to tilt it to 45°.

    Sketch a construction line perpendicular through the cylinder axis, then use the "line angle" option when creating your plane

    I created an example document on the Android phone app but couldn't figure out how to share the link from the mobile app.

    Or just use a mate connector do it in one step…

    Mate connectors....something I probably should learn more about. All I've used them for is to position parts of an assembly.
