Orientation of a flange

Orientation of a flange

Orientation of a flange

(OP)
Let me start buy saying that I thank you for all of the help this site has given me.

I can't figure out how to orient a flange on an assembly. I was hoping to attach a PDF so you could see what I am talking about, but I will describe it the best I can.

I have a pipe connection that will u-bolt to a horizontal frame member and on the end of this pipe is a flange. I need the flange to be oriented so that the 4 bolt holes are 45 deg. from the horizontal plane of the frame member. I know how to orient it to be horizontal with the frame member, but I can't figure out how to rotate it accurately 45 deg.

RE: Orientation of a flange

Hi jlbmech,
Glad to help in any way - I've picked up loads of tips and learned things on this forum even after using Solid Edge for several years.
To make positioning easy, the 4 holes should be on the vertical/horizontal axes of the part file - I'm assuming they are equally spaced at 90deg.
Then use an [b]angular relationship[b] between one of the reference planes of the flange and the horizontal plane of the frame member.
