fillet behavior on a curve

fillet behavior on a curve

On a flat curving surface, when I make a fillet the size I need, (in this example, 50mm), it leaves a sharp feature in the fillet.  This feature disapears when I make the fillet large enough.

 

How do I get a fillet that won't leave a sharp feature, and is the correct size?

Hard to say without the file. My first guess would be the outer circle isn't tangent to the center circle.

Here's the file.  Still not sure what's causing this.

See Attached.

Edit the fillet size and also add to the bottom.

Building the part your way works I guess.   I'll still see cursed fillets in my dreams though, hahaha.

It appears that splines behave differently than arcs:

Yep, that "behavior" has been part of discussions a long time ago!

I consider that a bug, as other CAD systems do not behave this way.
