    Non-circular Detail View

    How can I make detail views with rectangular boundaries ?

    Begining V15, Solid Edge allows you to make non-circular detail views too.

    After you click the Detail View     tool, select the Define Profile     option on the ribbon bar.

    This takes you to the sketcher mode, where you can draw an area of any shape.

    Click Finish when done.

    Now you can proceed to create a detail view.

    Slant Hole

    How do I place a hole with a specified entry angle ?

    - Khris Randolph < khrisr@houchin.co.uk >

    Start with creating a sketch on the face on which you want to place the hole.

    Sketch a point on the face and dimension it to the edges of the face.

    See figure.
    Toggle the point to Construction






    Next, create an Angled Plane

    See figure.





    Start the Cutout     or the Hole     command.

    Pick the angled plane.

    Draw a circle or place the hole with the point as center.

    See figure.





    Indicate the direction towards the face on which you sketched the point.

    The figure besides tells the story.





    Now you have the desired hole.
