Assembly Chamfer

[Scorch]

Is there a way to add a chamfer to a weldment (machined feature), or does the chamfer need to be added to the component part it self and the display of it controlled by a configuration. It has been a long time since I have had to machine after welding and I thought there was a way to add the chamfer in the assembly and not just in the part.


Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Not in the assy directly. You may select the part in the feature tree, right-click, edit part. Then chamfer the part. Or just open the part.
In the assy you can extrude-cut the chamfer only. Not very efficient in this case ... I think.
