External threading Chamfer

When attempting to chamfer a thread I receive error messages. I tried all suggested ways on youtube and help through the fusion community, of which none worked, not even the correct ways as shown on youtube followed step by step. Is there a special setting that i do not know about? How can this bug be resolved?

@CGBenner Will do. My aim is to have the thread leading in through the chamfer top and bottom of the thread.

What type of thread are you trying to add the chamfer to? For ISO and ANSI threads just create the thread as a cosmetic thread, add the chamfer then go back and edit the thread and change to modeled. For BSP threads you will need to use a sketch and revolve cut. If you ca share an example file someone can show you how.

@seomichael The thread you're using has filleted peaks so chamfer will not work.

 

You need to use a sketch and revolve something like this. See attached file.

@HughesTooling I am using ISO Pipe Threads, I attempted what you said and still receive the following errors. 

I linked my drawing on my @CGBenner response.
