Hello
Could you please explain how to simply draw juste the hole?
Are there any tools in SolidWorks to achieve this, or perhaps a mathematical formula I could use?
It involves two parallel segments representing two chords. I'm afraid my approach might be too simplistic, so I'm seeking expert advice.
Best regards.
How draw this hole ?
Re: How draw this hole ?
I can't think of a specific tool to create this directly.
I would draw a 10mm circle sketch; two parallel lines (chords) 8.5mm apart; then trim away the unwanted portions. The parallel lines need to be symmetrical about the diameter.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question correctly but what's so complicated about that...? Can you show your attempts..? Perhaps that would give us a better idea of the complexity you are facing.Aekzof wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 1:53 am Hello

Circle with 2 flats.

Circle with 2 flats like Fredrick said above, I would make the lines equal so they stay centered

Elementary, my dear Watson...
