    Making a slash cut...

    Pretty new to Alibre Design Express... Playing around with it now. Question though, how do I make a slash cut in a tube? Say I have a tube with a 3.95" radious that is about 12" in length and .10 thick. How would I cut one end to a 45* or 60* angle?

    Anyone know?

    Thanks
    Eric

    Create a sketch on a plane that intersects with the centerline of your tube and do an extrude cut. The sketch would be a closed polygon with one side that is at the angle you wish to have on the end of the tube.
