Deselecting edges in fillet edit

[ritste20]

Does anybody know the reason behind this? Or if this could be an improvement for a future update?

When I go back to edit a fillet feature, if I ctrl+click to deselect an edge Fusion deletes the radius value and I have to reenter it which means I have to remember to check the value before I click anything or I have to cancel out and start over.

I can't be the only one bothered by this...

the newish fillet tool seems buggy to me to.  another one is if you have multiple sets of fillets in the one tool, deselecting an edge plops all the sets together.

Yeah, I've been trying my best not to group multiple sets into a single feature.

I find it gives me more peace of mind if each radius value is a self-contained feature. I just wait till I'm satisfied with the model before I add chamfers and fillets. It's also easier for projecting geometry if everything is modeled with a single vertex at corner joints between surfaces. Any edits I make after the fact unless they rely on the fillet geometry, are done with the timeline rolled back and I can step back out of it to see what breaks.

It was reported here nearly 2 months ago! Pretty bad it's not been fixed, could cause big problems if you need to edit an old design where you have several different edge selection in one feature.

@HughesTooling thanks for posting the link. I tried searching because I figured I wasn't the only one but apparently I didn't capture enough of the keywords to see the original post...
