Chamfer on 2 intersecting cylinders at right angles

[Anonymous]

I am trying to put a chamfer on the shoulder area of 2 equally sized cylinders meeting at right angles, effectively a Tee join.

I recently upgraded to Inventor 2018.

Prior to the upgrade the chamfer operation was no problem, producing a "cheese wedge" type shape.

However, since the upgrade it doesn't work.

Is there a setting I can change to make it work?

Hi Pieter,

Same here. But Fillet works as expected.

Cheers,

Igor.

Hi Pieter

Which Inventor version you can create the chamfer successfully? I checked on Inventor 2017 and 2018, both can't create chamfer.

Thanks,

It's an interesting question @Anonymous.

Below is a result from Inventor 2017. The chamfer feature is highlighted. Could you confirm if this is what you're asking?

Hi Pieter,

I check the issue on Inventor 2016 again, the chamfer can be created successfully. So it seems a regression issue since Inventor 2017. Thank you for reporting the issue to us. I will log a defect and ask development team to resolve it.

Thanks,

Sucy

Hi Inchul Lee,

The result I am trying to achieve is as per attached, which was done in version 2014.

I can't recreate it in version 2018.

As Sucy mentioned - it looks like a defect.
