I've opened a PR and will report back what I learn.

RE: remembering chamfers?

OK, in this case, NX is actually working as designed.

The 'problem' is that the 'chamfer' face still thinks it's a chamfer despite the fact that all the features have been removed. You can verify this by using the Synchronous Modeling function, 'Label Chamfer', and it will indicate that the 'chamfer' face is already labeled as a 'Chamfer'. So since it thinks it's a 'Chamfer' it will always end up as a small chamfer face when you perform the 'Replace Face' function. Note that we are planning to add a function which will explicitly remove the 'Chamfer' label, but until then you have two choices: You need to either completely remove the 'Chamfer' lebel by exporting a Parasolid version of the model and reopening it as a new NX part file. At that point the 'Chamfer' label will have been removed and the 'Replace Face' function will now work as expected. The alternative is to not use 'Replace Face' at all, but rather use the 'Delete Face' function to remove the side faces.

Anyway, give it a shot as see if it works for you.

(OP)
Did you try to "delete face" on the solid? It don’t work & you get an error.
"delete failed because the remaining faces cannot close the area left after deleting the selected faces"
As simple as that solid was it should not have any trace of a chamfer? Other than the "parasolid" option this should not be happening.

RE: remembering chamfers?

Like I said, we're going to be implementing a function to remove the 'chamfer' label just that at the moment the system still thinks the face is a Chamfer.

As for the Delete Face issue, I forgot to mention that you need to use the 'Cap Face' option where you select the Chamfer as the 'Cap Face'.
