Align part to cone's side
I have been working on this for an hour.
I have a cone,
200mm dia at the top
300mm dia at the bottom
500mm long
I want to add a part 15mmx15mmx 500mm long against the side.
How can I do that without having to work out the angle and rotating the part.
Is there a way to line the parts face against the cone?
Thanks

What about the following procedure?

1. Snapped to the base of the cone (snap to the E point of the circle.)
2. I used the STC command and selected the angle-part.
3. Use the option "Rotate around, Dynamic"
4. For rotation, select the M point of the upper edge of the part, and then the outer edge of the upper base of the cone.

If I understood your problem, the above should work well ... But perhaps you'd better send your file to support@varicad.com to make sure that you get accurate instructions.

Hi Marek,
I sent off the file, but then followed your instructions and it worked,
Thanks for the quick reply
