I have a component and a location pin. The pin is at a compound angle to the component face. Can I bring face of the component and the flat end of the pin together, parallel in one easy move?
Laborious having to try and orientate the parts in stages.
Hello, can you attach a screenshot showing these faces and what you will like to achieve? This will help everyone better understand your request in order to proffer great suggestions. You can also try using Translate to see if that works as explained in the tutorial video below:
I think there is more to it than a mere translate. The cylinder is at a compound angle relative to the green surface. The cylinder first needs to be rotated so it’s surface is parallel (flush, zero degrees) with the green surface. Then by all means use the translate tool to move the cylinder to green surface where needed. (I think that is what you meant, Tommy.)
I agree whole heartedly. I didn’t mean to come across in a negative way. Look me up if you are ever in the vicinity of Torrance.
Have a nice Memorial weekend!
Thanks gents. I did that, but it’s long winded. I put a plane in through the object. Measured it’s angle to the the Green surface. Repeated as it’s a compound angle. Rocket science no. Long winded yes.
