Chamfer milling

[Anonymous]

Hello again 🙂

If importet a .ipt from Inventor 2017 into Fusion and like to set it up for 5axis milling.

Most of the things is no Problem. But there is one quite serious one:

I'm not able to select a face wich was created using the chamfer tool (in inventor). Means if I've got a Chamfer 15mmx45° wich I'd like to use a face mill, I can't select it with the 2D Plane function!?

But also for smaler chamfers (like 1mmx45°) I'm not able to make them with a chamfer tool when selecting the bottom path of it (if there is one, otherwiese I still don't know how to do them)

Had anyone similar troubles?

Regards Sam

Thanks for posting on the forum.  I tested this and found that if you use tool orientation in the facing operation, with the face created by the chamfer selected, then you can select the edge of that face for the machining boundary to create the face operation.  Here's a Screencast of the process and this was a model imported from Inventor with 15mm x 45 degree chamfer.  With regard to the smaller chamfers and using a chamfer tool, the better operation might be a 2D contour with the bottom edge of the chamfer selected as the contour.  Let me know if this helps or if you have any more questions.  Thanks!

YES! This really helped, thank you very much. I wasn't aware, that you can select the Tool oriantation via the Face you wanted to work on, I thought you could do this only by selecting an edge facing the right direction.
