I have designed this library feature which consists of four countersunk holes and two slit cuts.
I want to be able to place and rotate.
I have deleted all vertical/horizontal constraints.
I added a construction line to the sketch for the slit cuts and linked to an angle dimension variable.
I haven't been able to place a manual reference to control orientation.
Help is no help.
Ideas?
I assume you want to rotate the holes and the slots together? In the library feature add an angle dimension between a line in the hole sketch and an edge of the part. Then at the top of the feature tree expand the Dimensions folder and drag that angle dimension into the Locating Dimensions folder. When you draw the slot sketch delete any vertical or horizontal constraints and make the slots parallel to the hole pattern. Now when you add that library feature you'll need to select the reference edge on the target model for the angle dimension to reference and there will be a box called Locating Dimensions where you can change that value.
brilliant! works great and less filling!
