I am trying to create a scallop/fillet on the outer edge of a shape. I want it to look like a ball end mill went around the edge of the part. When I select fillet, it only lets me create a round. To figure this out, I tried creating this on a basic extruded rectangle and still could not get it to work. Should I be using something else other than the Fillet to try and accomplish this? Do I need to do something special with my geometry?
Thanks
Try using Pipe from the create menu, set it to Cut and select the edge.

Can you do a Sweep Cut with a circle?
Edit: or Pipe as suggested.
I tried the Sweep, but it will not go around the entire rectangle. It only cuts out along the one edge that I select and it won't let me select any additional edges.
Can you File>Export and then Attach your actual *.f3d file here?
Did you try Pipe and hold the Ctrl key to select additional edges?
The Pipe works as long as the shape stays as a basic rectangle, but my shape has scallops out of the corners as well. See attached picture for what my part looks like. The fillet I am trying to create will go along the outer edge of the part.

I fixed it up for you.
Hold the Ctrl key to select multiple edges for the path.
Thanks. That is exactly what I wanted. I thought I tried holding down the Ctrl (Command Key on my Mac) to select the additional edges, but must not have.
