Here I explain how to construct holes in Fusion360 at an angle on an angled surface.
If you have any questions, ideas for other tutorials or suggestions do not hesitate to contact me.

Have fun constructing in Fusion360 with www.brunnhuber-cad.de

1. Step 1: Sketch a help line

   Sketch a line with the Direction and the wanted angle of the hole you want to model from the edge on the surface she should start.

   At the picture below you see i want to hit the first hole and the hole in the middle of the Part (dashed line)

   
   

   (view from above)

   

   
   

   
   

   Here you could see the the Hole in the middle of the part from below side

   (view from below)

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

2. Step 2: Sketch the leading line

   Now you simply have to sketch a line on the surface the hole should be (marked blue on the pic below).

   Important is that you connect the line with the endpoint of your last sketch (point is highlighted on the pic below).

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

3. Step 3: Set Plane in angle

   in this Step you have to use a plane and set it in an angle tho the sketch in "Step 2" for this you have to use the the button which you see below.

   

   Set the angle in 90° to the line of your sketch in "Step 1" as you could see in below pic.

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

4. Step 4: Check if the angle is right

   To check if the angle is right just type "i" on you Keyboard for the measurement-tool and measure the angle between your plain and the line of the sketch in "Step 1".

   Example is in the Picture below.

   

   As you could see the angle is 90° so its time for Step 5 ;-)

   
   

5. Step 5: Offset planar

   So that when creating the bore and the danze Druchmesser is discharged from the part, we must create an offset level.

   To do this click on this symbol.

   

   Pull the plane far enough out of the part so that the hole can completely cut through the part and not just partially. Example picture is below

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

6. Step 6: Main sketch for of the creating Hole

   Now create a sketch on the level created in "Step 5". However, we do not want to draw a line now but project the leading line created in "Step 2". Click on the line you want to project and press "p" on your keyboard to project the line. Confirm with ok and the line was projected.

   
   

   The advantage of this is that when you make changes to the first sketch, they are automatically transferred without having to open and edit all the other sketches. Also if you change the thickness of the part.

   On this line, you'll create a point and dimension it to your liking as seen on the example picture below

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

7. Step 7: Create the Hole

   Now you can use the button "drill-hole" (pic below) to generate the hole on the previously created point. Simply select the desired diameter and the drilling depth.
