Diagonal Cut

Post by Phillip Fletcher »

In the part editor, how do I make a diagonal cut? I am trying to cut a corner on a panel for a miter drawer and i cannot seem to figure out how to just get a simple diagonal cut. Using the arc and rectangular cuts do not give me the cut I am looking for.

If I understand correctly, the miter function should do it for you. In part editor, it's the button directly right of the arc button. You can enter 1 or 2 distance, meaning it will cut a 45 degree diagonal, or whatever angle you want depending on the dimensions you enter. Pretty quick and easy.

Hope this helps - Jason
