I'm working with a cylinder with hole configurations down the length of it. Is there a way to set up planes that always do a cross-sectional view of the holes? I want to cut the assembly in half and have the cut go along a plane that goes through the holes so I can present progress.
Currently, in an assembly I go to the sketch command and pick the feature I want to cut through and draw a line through it. Then I create a plane relative to that sketch and a parallel sketch face. What is wrong is that when I move the part the sketch stays in the same spot while the holes rotate of it. Is there a way to have the sketch stay with the holes? Or is there a better way? My way is a little time consuming and I was looking for a better way. Thanks.
Hello,
Relocate your first part in the assembly so it's centered on the origin
Turn on view temp axes and mate a hole's axis to the right or top plane.
Repeat for each part. Currently, each is free to spin out of hole alignment.
Your part and assembly don't have any configs that you mentioned in the OP.
