Hello everyone! I'm designing a product that I'm drawing technical drawings for and I'm having trouble with some of the geometry. I'd really appreciate any insights or help or links to any useful info.
So my question is: I've got two circles, of the same diameter and I'm wanting to draw a line connecting them.
I want to put the line touching the edge like in the picture (although this isn't exactly right but just to show you what I'm hoping for):
I'm wondering how I can calculate the exact point of the edge that is the most outermost point of the circle that the line could touch.
I've tried lots of things but can't seem to figure out how to calculate this. I'd really appreciate any help!!
