Hi,

 

The "Convert" function in Solidworks  is exceptionally useful. Is there an equivalent in Fusion?

 

Thanks,

 

Forrest

The arcs are giving me fits. I would like to suggest to Autodesk that they implement a fillet command for projected lines. This is really useful. Can't believe they don have it.

The problem here is that your arc has a midpoint constraint (meaning to the midpoint of that projected line), so it does not have the freedom to change the radius.  If you delete the midpoint constraint, and replace it with a tangent constraint, you will be able to change the radius.

Your suggestion of a "fillet for projected curves" (or "fillet without trim", as I would think about it), is a pretty good idea.  I looked on the Fusion IdeaStation and found this entry:  add-fillet-without-trim-in-sketch.  I would encourage you to vote for it (as well as others who share this requirement)
