Default An odd callout

I think one can generate a plan view of any 3-D object with two rotations. Back before solid modeling this was accomplished by constructing projection views.

I designed a gimbal system with a similar geometry specifying the cut out for a connector in the round housing. I specified it by constructing a view parallel to the plan view of the connector defied by the angle the view was offset from the part front and top views. One can do the same thing with 2-D cad.

Engineering schools don’t teach 2-D drawing anymore so a lot of the new engineers lack geometric agility
