Moving Fillets and Chamfers

Hey, this is a simple design to exemplify the issue. I chamfer the bottom of the box and then fillet the sides what generated an unwanted output.

 

I tried to move the fillet before the chamfer but Fusion have those locked. Other CAD software let you move those type of features and just rebuild the part.  Is that a limitation from Fusion or there is any workaround?

Are you considering deleting features or some other operation?

This is a fairly straightforward feature dependency issue.  The fillet is dependent on the chamfer, because it uses faces and edges that the chamfer created or modified.  Therefore, you cannot reorder those two features relative to each other.

I'd call this a limitation.

In SW I can pull the fillet before the chamfer and the model rebuilds.

The solution is to simply edit the chamfer feature and select the new edge that the fillet created. Although to @TrippyLighting's point; it really could/should be automatic.

It should not exist such dependency or at least Fusion should allow those features to be reorder and rebuild the model accordingly - this is something that all other major CAD programs do - Onshape, Solidworks, even Freecad!

yeah I'm a little disappointed in Fusion's feature expansion over the past 5-7 years. They've dropped a couple nice QOL things, but it's been mostly underwhelming.
