copying features to angular planes

[ddlangley]

I have a counterbored hole that want to copy to an angular facial plane. Every time I try, it give me a couterbored hole at the angle of the plane that I'm placing it on. I want to keep it orientation to the plane that I copied the hole from.

Maybe I'm just being dense today....but I don't quite follow you?

If you have a plane with a Counterbored hole in it and you copy it to a Angular plane the end result is it is going to be at an angle. If it is not going in the right direction or something you need to only "Edit Definition" of feature and reverse it. Maybe you need to add some Dimensions to fully constrain it.....I'm I thinking of your problem correctly?

that's the problem. I don't want it to go in at the angle of the plane i want it to paraelle to the axis.

Create a new plane parallel to your existing c'bore at the point you want any copy the feature to that plane.

and copy the feature to the new plane.

sorry for the typo.

That should work... "The attempt and not the deed confounds us."

 

[ddlangley]

really dumb question. how do you copy features to another plane?

 

[SBaugh]

Pick the sketch in the FM (Feature Manager) and either click the Copy icon at the top, or Crtl-C. Pick the Plane you want to copy to and either press the Paste Icon, or Crtl-V.

Hope that helps, Scott Baugh, CSWP

man you guys are great! Thank you very much

 

[ddlangley]

Sorry to write again but this did not work. I guess if I put the question differently I might clear up any confusion. How do I drill a hole at an angle that is not perpendicular to the planar face that I am drilling into. When I made a new plane SW would not allow me to paste (ctrl-v) the feature to that plane.
Thanks again

Okay, how bout this. If you have a vertical surface, and want to drill a hole into that surface at 10 degrees off-chamber (so to speak), you can create a plane that is 10 degress off the vertical surface, and place your hole there. Same way as a cut I'm thinking.

Now your problem is only where exactly the hole will be in the vertical face, if the 10 degree plane is offset from it. So, maybe you place a 3dsketch in there, and "align" the vertical face point of the line to the vertical face, and make it perpendicular to the angled plane. Then "align" hole to the 3d line.

Maybe this gets you going, or thinking, or worse....

Patse the SKETCH of the feture onto the plane , not the feature itself. Open the feature by clicking on the plus sign and copy the sketch.

Typing has been terrible lately,

When you paste the skecth onto a new plane, you get the entities only with none of the relationships, an alternate methods
1. Manually draw the shape of half the drill bit (with the 59° included angle) and do a cut-revolve. That will get you the correct geometry. You can also c'bores, c'sinks etc. this way.

2. Create your new plane perpendicular to your angle of entry and use the hole wizard.
