SVG file Chamfer issues. How to recreate shape in fusion 360?

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 01:58:56 GMT

I'm having the notorious SVG file errors when trying to chamfer the edges of the extruded shape. I've tried to create a sketch by selecting the shape but had the same errors. Is there an easy way to recreate this shape in 360 without redrawing it manually? I have experience with AutoCAD, PCB layout software & photoshop but this takes the cake for the most frustrating. I cannot get this program to cooperate & when I do it leads to a dead end.

Hi @tameldjr ,

Thank you for posting to the Fusion 360 forum.

SVG files are generally 2D vectors or line works, we can import into Fusion 360 then can Fix/Unfix to make them editable.

Imported SVG files having a green color and editable sketch having a blue color.

please take a look at the below screen-cast video that might help.

@Anonymous - probably need to share the SVG in question. Things to look for are: areas of very high curvature in the sketch curves - these will make the chamfer more likely to fail. Similarly, "near tangencies" between adjacent curves can also make chamfer fail. But, in short, to answer your question directly: "Is there an easy way to recreate this shape in 360 without redrawing it manually? " No, there is not. But, if there are, indeed areas of high curvature, even redrawing might not get you success.
