Adding a diagonal cut line on a part

Post by Donald Thomson »

I've got a cabinet side that I would like to create a diagonal cut on. The panel is 18" wide. I would like the diagonal cut line to start at the top back corner of the line and the cut extend to the front of the panel 6" from the top. I've tried part editor and contour editor and can seem to figure out how to do it. The line mode in contour editor seems to only let me draw a vertical or horizontal line. Am I missing something or is this just not possible?

Thanks!
Sincerely,

Hi Donald. While in the contour mode Right click and make sure that angle snap and ortho are unchecked. this should let you draw the line at any angle.
Hope this helps.

Or, you can use the chamfer in part editor as well.
