Drafting a face with fillet
Drafting a face with fillet
(OP)
I am trying to draft the faces of a cubic box whose edges are filleted. But SW won't let me do it. Is there a way around it? I can't delete fillet to draft, as a lot of other features were built on those fillets.

Possibly do a roll-back to before the fillets & then try to apply the draft.

RE: Drafting a face with fillet
- Create base sketch
- Create fillet
- Create additional features (sweep around a 3D sketch that contains the fillets created above)
- Create draft (SW doesn't create draft AFTER I have added fillets above)
- Finally shell (I have problems with this step too because the sweep didn't work properly which is another issue)
I am not sure where to start fixing things...

Can you create draft if your reverse direction. fillets propogate tangencies that wont extend beyond the radius of the fillet, which is what you are trying to do by applying draft..
Your sweep....On 06, then try making your sweep profile a surface, patterning that surface along your curve using tangent to curve and a face normal and then creating a loft with the faces.
Well thought out design approaches create good designs. Its like chess, you gotta think many moves ahead when your making a move.

I think I went to Engineering school with your coworker. It wasn't deliverables though, mostly days where heat tranfer and composite tests where handed back.

May be... this will solve your problem.
Use Insert- face- Delete and select the fillet face.
but You have to select only one fillet face eachtime.
if you select multiple fillet faces, it doesn't work.
now draft the faces and finally give the corresponding deleted fillets once again.
