the more this view and the more normal it is  done by inserting this view into the drawing...

Hello

Just to add, if you're not in the plan you can't insert the dimensions, here is @+.

Hello A.R,

Thank you very much for your answers, which indeed seem to be the right solution.

I also confirm that by tilting the model  (Insert / Functions / Move & Copy then rotate) at the precise angle of the cone, I can then dimension the inclined hole in the MEP. However, this impacts all views because the tilt is applied to the entire model.

So my last problem is to be able to create an angled view exactly at the angle of my cone, which I can't  do. (Yes sorry I'm starting with Solidworks :-)

If you could guide me on this last operation, it would be very nice!

Thank you.

No, not at all if you create a new one by calling it "1" for  example,  that's what I do...

Go @+.

Hello Franck,

If you create a view by naming it "1" for example, it doesn't disrupt the other standard views, that's what I do on my MEPs ...

Go @+.

I must be doing it wrong. How do you create this new view at the precise angle of the cone?

Hello

 

You need to create an auxiliary view.

Hello

No, you click on the face you want and you save your new view without disrupting the other standard views.

If not an axillary view and it's even simpler, see

Hello Yannick,

An auxiliary view uses a reference edge. What do I use in the case of my cone?

Thank you

-Franck.

I can't click on the face I want, the hole is drilled on the cone, so it's not a face, that's my whole problem.

Thank you for your help. 

Hello

Weird!
In this case, you can create a new plan

Kind regards

If you click in the surface of the hole and you will see, then you record your view.

But the best way not to get caught up in your head is to take an auxiliary view and that's it. @+

So from the 3D view, click on the surface of the hole, then on "Normal to" which seems to be possible for my part perpendicular to my hole. 

From there I create a new view that I import into the MEP.

Well, I still have the same problem, impossible to rate the hole :-(

As for the auxiliary view, it uses a reference edge. What do I use in the case of my cone?

 

Yes it's weird, so you have to create a plan or use the plan that allowed you to make this hole, here is @+ good luck.

AR

Well if not, send me your piece I'll make it for you again lol.

AR.

Otherwise you go through a removal per revolution by putting all the necessary dimensions, and that's it, because I think that by the drilling assistant you didn't add a dimension...

@+.

I just tried it with the drilling wizard it works as long as you add the rating ...

So I tried adding a plan and making the hole by removal, no better, impossible to size the hole on the cone. No problem with the other odds.

Here is an example of a part that corresponds to my problem. If you have an idea, I'm interested :-)

Thanks again for your help.

And the associated MEP...
