      Who has a simple cut program for cutting angles in tubing and pipe? I am having a problem using the section plane. Something like draw a line across it and tell it to cut through.

        Zorro2 OR perhaps use WorkPlane+Intersect_with+erase_unwanted_stuff...
        OR you can just make a rectangle, group it and move/rotate it into place, then use intersect and erase unwanted stuff...

          TIG's suggestions are spot on, of course.

          You really don't need a plugin for a simple task such as this. Simply draw a face at the angle you want for the cut. Intersect it with the tubing and delete the waste. Think of it as drawing in the saw blade.

          Knowing how to do this is useful because there are other applications for essentially the same process.
