Chamfering Question
Chamfering Question
(OP)
Hello All,
I will try to describe my problem and if it's a simple fix excuse me for asking. I have a yoke shaped part and I only want to chamfer the radius and not the flat leading up to the radius. I have turned off "tangent propagation" and cannot just chamfer the radius it automatically continues on to the flat. Have tried everything to deselect etc. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Chamfering Question
Do your chamfer then "combine" the bodies.

RE: Chamfering Question
Create a very narrow cut (0.0001") cut at right angles to and just covering the chamfer so that it doesn't cut the parent body. This will stop it propagating;(see below) I often use this if I need to stop a chamfer or fillet short of its usual end to simulate the run-out of a tool. In this case I make a sketch for a revolved cut on this "stopped end" face.

That's pretty smart! Cut the edge that is propogating to stop the chamfer...I like it!
