How do I rotate a 3D object to a unknown angle

Hi,

 

I have a question about rotating an 3D box. This box has 2 holes that should connect to two cylinders that aren't in the usual XY-plane, they are in co-planair in YZ. What i did was the following, I moved the box with the basics of displacement to connect it to the first cylinder (which is ok now) and now I have to rotate that box using the X-axis (with the coordinates of the center of the first hole. How can i do this precise? I tried measuring the angle and rotating it then, but that isn't precise, how can i do it 'graphically'?

 

I tried using the angle reference feature, but i don't get it, and it rotates my box in all sort of random directions :unsure:

 

Thanks in advance,

Haegendoorn

Just another luck guess on my part. That's makes five correct answers this year. I'm on a roll!

 

You're entirely welcomed. Glad to hear it worked out for you.
