Align par vertical

Align par vertical

Align par vertical

(OP)
I'd like to use the holes on the flange of the part to position my holes onto the bar instead of doing all kinds of measurements to get the distances. How can I get the bearing housing vertical (one hole across from the other) when there is nothing on the part to reference as vertical?

RE: Align par vertical

Does the part have planes?

... or sketches?

RE: Align par vertical

I probably ran SW for two years before I realized the power and versatility of using the non-physical features SW offers such as planes, axes, temporary axes, sketch entities, points, etc. Have you investigated using any of them? Once you get in the habit you'll find yourself using them more and more.

RE: Align par vertical

Do you mean the two thread hole?
If so, edit the first sketch of the hole wizard thread holes, select the points and the center of part, select vertical.

I got to work using a ref sketch hole to hole and aligning parallel to frame. Thanks
