Radii in 3D sketches...

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Anyone out there had problems trying to put a fillet on a 3D sketch?

I have a corner interface that is made up of an arc to a straight line...and can I heck as like put a fillet on that corner.

Is it possible or just a facility that doesn't work on arc/line interfaces?

regards

just looked and my sketch hadn't attached??!

Now edit the 3D sketch and add those two arcs using the 3-point arc command and selecting the sketch points from the 2D sketch (you might have to Include Geometry the points before creating the arcs).  Because the two arcs are constrained to these points - they are fully constrained.

Once you have completed this I will post the final 2 steps.

OK...I've done that...from the jpg...I have only added the 2 arcs...nothing else...

I didn't have to project the points through, I was able to snap to them...

there looks to be a line extended from the bottom arc but it's showing through from sketch 2...

This right?

regards

The arc is going too far.
It should only go to the last sketch point shown in Post #14.

  Stop at the point in red circle.

It does...

that line you highlight doesn't exist in the 3D sketch...it's showing through from sketch 2 being visible...

I 've been into sketch 2 and made that line construction...

I can assure you it's not in my 3D sketch...

OK, it was not possible to tell in the image file since you hadn't converted it to construction.

Now start the line command and pick the first or last point (end of arc or centerpoint of circles). (1 or 4)

Right click and make sure that AutoBend is turned on. (2)

Click the points as shown. (3 and the remaining 1 or 4 depending on which end you start at) (I did an Include Geometry  Point 3 before starting)

Double click on the 5mm bend radius and select the original bend dimension to make it a function of that bend.

It worked 100%...

3 cheers for Mr JDMather...

I hope I remember the process in the future...

thanks for your help...VERY much appreciated...

and Im sorry I was a pain not understanding exactly what you were telling me to do...

Best Regards
