Constant chord width fillet

[insan.gunawan.st]

Hi, I wish Inventor has Constant Chord Width Fillet feature. Alias has it. Please add the feature to Inventor.
I found @JanHedlund4801 requested this feature few years ago (it's been archived https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/constant-fillet-width/idi-p/5899103). I think it's great idea to get fillet on edge that has same width in simple click. Meanwhile using the  variable fillet by setting different radius at the points on the edge to get the same chord width takes time too long.

When working with surfaces (or solids) it would be a real time saver if I could specify a constant width of a fillet.

I don't really care about what radius it is, as long as it's width is the same all over the part, and parts placed near by.

Trying to fix this with variable radius is to time consuming.

You might post this as a question in the Inventor General Discussion section (here) and see if the community can suggest an already existing method to do this. Several of the community members are extremely knowledgable and provide solutions to modeling questions like this one every day.

I can get the same resultat by sweeping a surface tube, split the surfaces, delet them and replace it with a lofted surface. 

The command for constant with has been avaliable in Mechanical Desktop as far back as I can remember, havn't used it lately thou.

available in Alias, too bad AD took it out of our Ultimate package. I'll vote it up.

My friend found it in Fusion 360.
And I knew we can sync AIV and F360,  but please add the feature to Inventor, will be great

@insan.gunawan.st You are correct, it is available in Fusion 360,

wondering why Fusion 360 feels like a bit superior than original Inventor, as it also has well integrated Simulation, CNC Programming, Generative design etc...  🤔.

Is there a way to replicate the constant cord fillet in Inventor, without exporting and then bringing it back?

Just stopping by to say I would love if Inventor had chord length as a fillet option. I used to use it all the time in Fusion and would love to be able to do the same now that I only use Inventor.
