I'm trying to add some chamfers to a part I'm working on. When I apply the chamfer, it continues through and beyond where I want it to go, instead of joining with the curved tab. Essentially, I want the chamfer to be on only the outside perimeter of the piece.
Any idea how to do this? Thanks.
You should start with properly constraining and dimensioning sketches. Then we can talk about chamfers.
As a beginner you should turn the timeline on.
Thanks for the link and I appreciate the help. For the most part I've defined the sketch pretty well now. But I'm not able to get the spline to be defined. I've dimensioned it but it still stays blue.
Multiple issues here:
1. No new file Attached.
2. Imagine one of these points was your house and someone asked for your address to locate the house. Where is you house? An undefined location in space.
3. As a beginner (and generally for pros too) I would recommend that you use tangent arcs rather than splines for geometry like this. (With splines - we also have to define weighted handles at the point locations.)
I gave this spline tangent handle a horizontal constraint so the transition between the two halves is tangent:
Then I did the same for this spline, so the geometry of the handle flows into the frame tangent to top and bottom surface:
Then the chamfer works:
