Chamfer errors - any alternative hack?
You would try a Sweep profile along the edge. Attach your model so others can take a look. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Hard to say without the model, but this looks to me like it could be a case of a "near tangency" condition along the edge that you are trying to chamfer. Chamfer and Blend are both prone to failures when the input edges are close to tangent, but not completely so. How much control do you have over these designs? Can you modify them to try to fix this problem?

For machining off a 3d model, modeled chamfers can be more trouble than they're worth! I'd ask if they'd rather have the model without chamfers and just indicate on the 2d drawings where you want chamfers.
For example none of the chamfers on this part are modeled. Far easier to pick edges and set the sizes in the CAM software. As you're getting someone else to machine your parts you'll need to create a 2d drawing and specify what edges to chamfer.
