7.6.2.7.2.  Rotate...

If you want to remove a rotated 2D sketch from a solid, proceed as follows:

Initial situation: Cuboid created on plane ZX

  1. Use the context menu command New Sketch [New sketch...]... to open the Sketcher and create a circle [Circle] (as well as a rotation axis [Rotation axis] ) that is positioned so that it later rotates and penetrates the 3D body.

    [Note]Note

    A rotation axis [Rotation axis] is a prerequisite for the rotation of the 2D sketch. If this has not yet been defined in the Sketcher, the following error message appears when the Rotate. [Rotate...].. command, the following error message appears.

    Rotation not possible because of missing center line.

    Rotation not possible because of missing center line.

    The rotation axis [Rotation axis] is shown as a dashed line in the 3D view of the sketch.

  2. In the 3D history [3D History] under Sketch 2, select the context menu command Section [Cut] -> Rotate.... [Rotate...]

    -> The Rotating body [Rotational solid] dialog box opens.

  3. Do you want the extrusion to go through the entire body or simply through a certain angle?

    Make the appropriate settings in the Rotating body [Rotational solid] window. You can immediately see the expected result in the 3D view.

    In the example, the cuboid is to be completely penetrated, i.e. it is rotated in both directions [Both directions] at the required angle [Angle] (here 90°).

    -> After confirming with OK , both objects are cut. A ring-shaped tube is subtracted from the cuboid.

    -> Another item (feature) appears in the 3D history [3D History]: Cut extrude 1.
