when i select 2 holes to chamfer, it cuts one right but make the second one almost double the size. am i doing something wrong or is this a little glitch?

this happens when i use either the chamfer tool path or the contour toolpath with chamfer on.

This will require some more testing on my (and Autodesk's part) but what happens if you set it to Computer Comp. I did not initially exerience your result, but I was using computer comp. Setting it to Control and I lost the ability to select 2 small holes, but it did fine if each was picked individually.

 

@paul.clauss we might have an issue here. I had something odd also happen with another part in another thread, but I thought it was a fluke

Hi @MJK_Performance

 

Thanks for posting! Would you mind attaching your Fusion 360 design to this thread (or a direct message) so I can attempt to recreate this issue? To do so, please follow any of the techniques at this link. I will then be able to troubleshoot the problem or submit a bug report.

 

Kind Regards,

Hi @MJK_Performance,

 

Thanks for sending the file over! I was able to recreate the behavior you are experiencing and logged a bug report (CAM-6039) with our development team, who will be working to resolve this issue.

 

In the meantime, I noticed that it did work to create a chamfer operation individually for each hole. This is clearly not an ideal solution, but will need to be used until this issue is fixed by the development team. I would recommend creating a template operation so you will only need to select the contour for each, or modeling the chamfer in the design.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I was able to diagnose the problem by using tool orientation to check if Z was perpendicular to the part face. Turns out the stock face (which was used to define Z in the setup) and the part are off by 0.01646686 degrees. That will mess things up.

 

I've attached a new version of the design for you to try where I used a face on the part for the Z direction. Seems to work fine.
