Angled Hole on Non-planar Surface

Angled Hole on Non-planar Surface

Angled Hole on Non-planar Surface

(OP)
Howdy. I am trying to place a tapped hole on a non-planar surface.....but I need the hole to be placed at an angle to this surface, not perpendicular to it. I can get a hole normal to this surface by just inserting a hole.....but I can't angle it or make it follow a path (axis or construction line). Any ideas. Thanks

RE: Angled Hole on Non-planar Surface

You might want to cut a small flat surface normal to your hole on your skewed surface.  Place a point on the small flat normal surface and insert your hole constrained to that point using the hole wizard.

You can use Cut > Extrude or perform a Cut > Revolve to place your flat surface on your skewed surface.

There are also other ways of doing this that others will probably post.

...or add a plane angled or offset off a plane or surface. You may need two planes, one offset then one angled. Then add the hole on the new plane.

Another option...

Use a 3D sketch to define the hole axis.  Then you can create planes, axes, sketches, etc. referencing the 3D sketch.
