Re: Angled holes?

A simple solution in Autocad would be to draw a cylinder of the reguired diameter, longer than needed, rotate in the working plane by 45 degrees, move to the workpiece so that the cylinder sticks through the plane you are "drilling" and then subtract the cylinder from the work piece. I am sure there are easier ways but this one works fairly well.
