SOLIDWORKS - Adding a draft angle to a curved hole

Question

I created a part that is basically a curved pipe that has a smaller curved hole symmetrically thru the center. I am having this injection molded and need to add a draft angle to that center "curved" hole. What is the easiest way to add a draft angle to that hole?

Answer 1

Your hole is curved, so it is NOT a revolving feature.

The SWEEP command will be the best solution, using a guided curve, with the angle to the centerline, which is equal to a draft angle.

Answer 2

There are 2 ways to do it

1. Use the draft tool on the feature tree and select the faces you need to draft and make a plane for the direction of the draft to go in.
2. Use the plane tool to create a cut revolve with an angle on each hole.
