angled drill hole

[Ckey]

I am trying to place a drilled hole at an angle of 78 degrees to a specified depth. What is the best way to create this hole?

one option is a revolved cut.

you could createa fewdatum planes at that angle and normal to that angle if your are trying to use the hole tool

I would use a revolved cut, the hole tool is too limited.

I have a part that gets various holes EDMed into it. There can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 holes. They can be straight or angled, they can be in a circular, square or rectangular pattern. We make 72 varities. I do this with one generic revolved cut and patterns, mirrors and family tables.
