how can i create a variable fillet with distance??

i want create a variable fillet on edge , but the lenght of edge is 80.375 

how can i create a variable fillet and add new point with distance.

for example:

point 1: distance from start point 15mm

point 2: 35mm

point 3: 65mm

 

tnx

The Position is a percentatge of the selected edge.

So for your example it would be something like this:

 

 15  / 80.375  = 0.1866

 

Point 115mm  =
18.66%
Point 235mm  =
43.55%
Point 365mm  =
80.87%

tnx for ur answer,

i know about this, but for this way i should use calculator and then use actual percent for each point, 

i can't use this formula in fillet cadr i should use fx parameters and create add numerice, then i can use this for variable fillet 

but i want another way without this process, simple with distance

I agree, it would be nice to be able to enter a distance rather than the percentage.

 

you can enter the formula into the Position input, and let Inventor calculate it for you.

Another way:

Create a sketch on one of the faces to use to spilt the face at the desired transition points2598iBF575C05A5D7B2B3

 

Place the variable rad fillet and snap the transition points to the face splits

Now you can control the fillet transitions by editing the sketch

If the point positions are predefined in the parameters, you can then select the positions from within the Fillet dialog. I defined  the following points to obtain the percentage values required by the fillet routine:

  • Point1 = 15 mm / 80.375 mm
  • Point2 = 35 mm / 80.375 mm
  • Point3 = 65 mm / 80.375 mm

These parameters can then be accessed through the Fillet dialog as shown. You can also create a sketch that has the parameters defined (I typically create a sketch with points). These dimensions can then be accessed from within the Fillet dialog and graphics window and necessary equations applied
