Hi,

I'd like to use the SOLIDWORKS direct editing features to rotate a face parallel to another face.

Like in this video from 2:33 to 2:57.

Rotating Base Solids Using Direct Manipulation - YouTube

I believe rotate operation does not have a "snap parallel" option, but I'm looking for a workflow to make this operation as quick as possibile, and most importantly, not having to do the calculation of the rotation angle myself (sometimes you get numbers with lots of decimals and it's not easy to find the number that will make the face exactly parallel).

I cannot share the component I'm working on for confidentiality reasons, but I've made up a simple example to work on (it's in attach):

Is there an elegant solution for this ?

Thank you.
