chamfer command

[evitali]

He.

my question is what action it performs the flag "preserve all features" in the chamfer command?

There seems to be no difference between having the option flagged or unflagged.

It is related to a particular geometry? what? (example, please).

Cheers

Hi man!

"Preserve All Features. When selected, checks all features that intersect with the fillet. Their intersections calculate during the chamfer operation. When not selected, only the edges that are part of the chamfer operation calculate during the operation."

This feature is used when you want to make a chamfer on a face that has other geometries, but you do not want that geometry to change due to the chamfer.

There is an example very similar to a Fillet in this topic: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/preserve-all-features-in-fillet-command-doesn-t-work/t...
