aligning holes

Post by aklweld » Wed Sep 02, 2015 5:23 am

Hi
im having a bit of trouble drawing the holes I need on the attached part, I have been able to do the vertical and horizontal ones but I cant figure out how put the holes on the angled section of the job, the need to be running parallel with the sides 25mm in, if someone could tell me how/or what function I should be using I would be very grateful

I have attached the file and also I have attached a photo of the physical template im working off.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Matt

For the 25 mm offset I would use the Modify tool "Offset with distance",

Then I would copy one hole (circle) to the clipboard what brings me into the position to use the "Paste along entity" tool.
