Chord Fillet option needed

[cekuhnen]

Fusion only has a fillet radius but it should have also a fillet chord.

chord really maintains the shape while you see that the Fusion model has a change in fillet width.

Lots of kudos but no comments from anyone yet.  This is a needed option for fillets.  I use it all the time in other applications, so it is definitely missed.

Maybe not too many are familiar with this tool or have used it.

I as well cannot be with out it.

Hi Class,

This is in our backlog, but it hasn't been near the top of the list.  Seeing the support here on the Idea Station, we can try to escalate this issue.  I'll look into this one.

Thanks Class, and to all who voted/commented.

This is an important feature to have. Otherwise the tool is typical
engineering g1 curvature.

Happy to see you will look into it!

Any news when the implementation of chordal fillet is to be expected.

Really looking forward to this…

I posted this months ago - considering the time I woudl assume some more month or Fusion will not get it at all.

I have the feeling they dont want to make Fusion a competition to Inventor and keep high end options out of Fusion.

In another thread someone from Autodesk noted G2 Fillets (at that time not implemented) and chordal fillets as top on their list for fillet enhancements…

Any news when chordal fillet is to be included into Fusion?

Will this option be for G1 and G2 fillets?

Some information would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Norbert

 +1 on this please. It makes a real difference in edge treatments.

Not only that.normal fillet produce often undesired surf designs with organic forms

Thanks for adding the chordal filet to the July release! I love that you automatically multiply the non-chordal value by the square root of 2 to do the conversion! Add this to Alias, please - nice detail.

We added this in the July release, so marking this as Implemented. Let us know if anyone encounters any issues with this.

@maruska - glad you like it! Little secret: we actually use the surface normals to make the conversion a bit more accurate 🙂 (root 2 only worked correctly for 90 degree corners)
