Sketch Fillet option, but no chamfer?

Doing a quick sketch, I see there is an option to put a fillet of any size on the corners of the sketch. No option for chamfer though, or is it hidden?

this thread popped up today, so I thought I'd respond:  The sketch team is currently working on a sketch Chamfer command.  No promises about delivery timeframes yet, but it is definitely a committed project.

I realize that you are outraged.  Here is a preview of coming attractions

@jeff_strater Not outraged so much as disconsolate by now.   The example is certainly above and beyond what I expected.

 

Now though I have to say - I am more outraged about the crippling restrictions introduced by the changes to the hobby user subscription.  I have invested time and effort learning the quirks and methods of Fusion, so I can occasionally make simple parts with my 2.5x axis mil.   Since these arbitrary limits have been introduced, I am convinced to search the ends of the earth for an alternative to Fusion.  The minimum payment subscription is much too high to be justified for users like me.  I could tolerate a one off fee but not this expensive never ending annual subscription.

 

Putting up with the new limitations is not an option - they just make it even less usable for me.  The two main examples that stand out initially are loss of rapids and restriction to a single tool.  (Despite not having a tool changer as such, I have worked around this to date by using pauses to change the tool manually.)   But now I have to work around the workaround.   Things can always be worked around, (such as those who manually edit in the rapids!) but the truth is I already find Fusion quite full enough of gotchas and niggles, that adding even more impediments makes it intolerable.  This is despite my needs being very modest...

@geraldft there are existing threads on this topic, let's not take this thread off on a completely separate tangent.

Hi Seth - I did look but the most rellevant one I found in "Feedback Hub" was closed.  Maybe you can link to the others?

Hi, I think we're talking about "trim" instead of "chamfer" tool.

I would like to trim A and B lines with one command only in order to reach this:

It would be sufficient that "Fillet 0" ware accepted.

If you just want to connect there, wouldn't it be better to just add Coincident?

You can drag the endpoints.

 

The shape will move around a bit, but I have never found it that inconvenient, because eventually the sketch will have to be fully defined to be of any use.

Everyone used to work with CAD knows that productivity is a matter of mouse clicks saving. It's so unbeliavable that Fusion doesn't have any kind of command suitable for this operation. It's such a frustrating waste of time.
