Hello everyone!
I'm trying to make a motorcycle speedometer holder. I think I'm doing it wrong because I can't force the flat part (fixing tab with the two holes) to follow the contour of the cylindrical part. I'm forced to make two parts that mix up in the hope of then removing the parts that protrude...
What is the construction technique to adopt in my context?
Thank you in advance for your insights and help!!!

Hello
For me the simplest would be to constrain your parts with the plans or the origin, once this done, you right-click on the fixing tab and you edit your part; There you create a sketch on it and you select the outline of the counter location and convert the features. All you have to do is do a normal material removal.
there are X ways to proceed
a very simple walkthrough ;-)
you cut your piece perpendicularly with holes
(making sure that it doesn't touch the other piece)
then you create a sketch on your section (the section you just cut)
Convert entities and extrude to face
that's not + simple
@+ ;-)
Hello
Personally I will use a positioned plane and the extrusion function until the next surface, then I will work on this last extrusion.

Thank you all for your answers!!
Quick question, could you advise me on courses to start? I found a 12-hour course on openclassroom (https://openclassrooms.com/courses/apprenez-a-utiliser-solidworks) but I don't know what it's worth. What do you think? A book if not to advise me to learn?
Thank you!
Hello again,
I can't implement the solution of ac cobra 427. Where does my mistake come from? A little idea?
When you are in your assembly you right-click on the support with the 2 holes and you edit your part then you select the face and you create a sketch on it, you click on the outside diameter of the counter support then you convert the entities then do a material removal and you will have what you want.
