Hello.  
Making a drilled hole with option to input included angle value is a feature that I’m sorely missing. Currently when we want to make a hole, we use extrude command which results in the bottom being flat. There should be a hole command in which we get the option of included angle for eg. 118 degrees or 90 degrees,etc

If we want to make a hole with included angle currently, it is very time consuming as we have to do the math and apply chamfer at the bottom edge or else create a separate body and subtract it from the main body.

I think if introduced, this feature will be very useful.

Cheers!!!

Why not make a dummy drill bit, rotate to angle, insert and subtract out?

I imported a drill bit from McMaster, and it worked nicely.
