madtowneast Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi all, This may have been asked already but I wasnt able to find anything relevant or that could help me along here. I am trying to redraw a piece because it has to be modified and the software it was drawn in does support 3D (ClarisCAD). The pieces requires that you make two circular cuts into it at a 6 degree angle. I was trying to do that my rotating the coordinate system by 6 degrees off the z-axis and raising the origin by a certain height and then making a new sketch with needed circles and then extrude to the required depth. But I am stuck in rotating the coordinate system by 6 degrees off the z-axis and moving it up. Is there any way to do that in Inventor or does anybody have a better idea how to make those cuts in the piece? I looked around the web and could only find the Autodesk Inventor tutorial for rotating it 90 degrees. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevsmith Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 You could create a work plane and rotate it to the 6 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
