New 'maximum' fillet/chamfer option.

New 'maximum' fillet/chamfer option.

When creating a fillet/chamfer sometimes the command can't complete because there isn't enough material to fit the feature in. For instance, you type 5mm rad and there's only room for a 4mm fillet.

I'm asking for a maximum option so Inventor calculates the maximum fillet it can fit in and creates that instead of having to use trial and error.

This could just be a tick box to say, create max rad, or something.

It may have been suggested before, but it would save me a lot of time on a daily basis if the Chamfer and Fillet functions had a selection to calculate the minimum or maximum fillet/chamfer available for your selection.

For chamfers you would also want it to work with non-45° angles.
