How do I set angles when assembling?

[Falkirk21]

I am trying to put brackets on top of cylinders that are on top of a disk. I need the brackets to be angled toward the center by 30 degrees but have not been able to find a constraint to do so.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need to create a MAKE DATUM through axis, with an angular constraint when assembling.



nice thing about this method is that you can limit the component assembly constraints and use ASSEMBLY PACKAGE to rotate the component in real time.

Note that you can pick on a tabulated surface (ie cylinder or cone) when picking thru and the revolve axis will be used by Pro/E.



Saves screwing around with showing axes and layers etc...
