Question

hook design help

Hello

is it possible to create a straight hook with a incorrect radius? if you look at the below image, it would come off at an angle rather straight. is it possible?

I truly have no idea what you are actually asking for. What is meant by "straight hook"? What is an "incorrect" radius? Why don't you just sketch what you are looking for or show a picture if you're trying to model something that actually exists?

@FY_10378206 ,

 

We probably need these terms clarified but why can't you edit the 8.494 to 5.5?

Based on your OP sketch items it is not possible to create what I think you are asking for. I am guessing you want to do something like this. This is realized by adding an additional arc (5.5 mm rad) to the sketch. The original problem statement remains unclear to me so this may not be it. I made some assumptions about tangency requirements here.
