How to create angled sketch?

Let's assume I have cube and I want to create a cylinder hole on that cube. The cylinder needs to have a specific angle with respect to the cube surface. I imagine I have to create a plane with that angle. What is the procedure to achieve this?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Hi @demetris_stavrou , you need to create a Line Angle plane.

How would this work if my shape was cylindrical with a 45 degree face, and I needed to have holes at a 36 degree angle?

Yes, that's what I need to do, but I can't get the 45 degree plane. I played with it and can't get it to cooperate. How did you make yours?

try removing the 2nd direction from extrude. Steve had that because plane at is above and below the angled face so the extrude needs to go both ways to complete. it just has to do with how the plane is positioned.www.accuratepattern.com1 -

I'm sorry, I just don't get it. Steve's extrude is after the angled plane is created, it's working off the revolve.0

When I add the angled construction line my document sees it as part of the front plane and not the edge and vertex of sketch one.0

Yes. If you step through his Feature list you should get the logic. Sketch 1 has both the geometry for Revolve and the construction line dimensioned for the Plane creation. Then the hole sketch is made on that plane and remove Extruded from the Part. The angle of the hole is really driven by the dimension to construction line in Sketch 1.karen_bogoski said:I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

We may be best able to see what is wrong if you share a public URL - see instructions here.karen_bogoski said:When I add the angled construction line my document sees it as part of the front plane and not the edge and vertex of sketch one.

OK, after you make the plane shown in the GIF above, you can use that plane to sketch the circle for your extrude

What kind of circle cursor is that?0 -

Oops !
You were asking about the CURSOR
Not what circle tool I used
The cursor is on my Onshape iPhone app. You’re not gonna find that kind of a cursor on Onshape’s browser apps — at least not that I know of
I will say this — It is a nice feature of the mobile app

Steve_Shubin, When you do these same steps in the desktop app, do you get the same results? When I open the plane tool and try to select my construction line it shows in the dialogue box as the front plane not the construction line like in yours. I don't understand why mine is different.0

I think this is what your looking for.

@karen_bogoski
make sure you are selecting the line; not the sketch or plane
You may need to use trial and error in the features to understand them. And they all depend on correct selection.www.accuratepattern.com0 -
@karen_bogoski
If an existing plane keeps getting in the way of your selecting something, then hide the plane. In fact you might as well hide all the planes right now, as you don’t need them to show at this time
