Draw on chamfer

[Anonymous]

Hi, I want to draw a steel bar with a 45deg chamfer at one end. This chamfer will be 1.5 mm wide, I then want to draw 6 equaly spaced 1mm dia pins on the chamfer . I have used Fusion 360 for a few months and this is the first time I have been stumped. Any Ideas?

you mean something like this?

Hi Changedsoul, 

Yes similar but my chamfer runs the full circumference of the bar and the pins

are equally spaced around the circumference. How did you do it?

I might have misunderstood but have you tried the chamfer tool on the modify menu?

For the cylinders around the circumference draw a sketch and use revolve then a circular pattern.

Reading your post a bit more carefully you say you want the chamfer 1.5mm wide, to get this you'll need to enter 1.5 * sin(45) like this.

Usually chamfers are not called out by the length of the hypotenuse. I was beat the punch for this, but I will post anyways. Here is a link to the file so you can see how I did it and you can modify however you want.  I am still new to cad and so not sure if my method is the most efficient, but I think it does what your asking.
