Good day,
I am busy cutting a solder tray for PCB manufacture. One of the requirement is that the bottom of the tray, that lies against the PCB, at the area that will be exposed to the solder wave, be chamfered at 60 degrees.
The problem is that some of the step faces are to small to accept a 60 degree chamfer and that is where it ends. Fusion will not identify the areas it cannot do. is it possible to chamfer the areas it can at the max length and angle and the areas it cant, just leave out.
I have been able to do it manually, by projecting the hole through the tray to the bottom of the tray. Then I extrude the sketch with a 60 degree angle. Now I have a large plug with 60 degree angle. I take the projected sketch and create an offset that stays within the bounds of the steps on my object. I extrude that up subtracting it from my plug.
The plug now has 60 degree corners but fits into the bounds i need. I move it down into position, into the hole, cutting off the corners with the 60 deg edge, and subtract it from the main. leaving me with, mostly the desired effect.
Problem is it takes forever. there must be another way to do this?
thanks
