Chamfer Length

Chamfer Length

The chamfer command should give us the option to put in how long we want the chamfer instead of assuming that we want the chamfer to go the entire length of the part.

Great idea, I have thought of this many times!

Chamfer Edge Offset

I also have this problem with concrete floor slabs that need a chamfer all round except where two panels join together at one edge.  I've found a work around but it is not very elegant.

Working with parts that are made out of steel, needs also that kind of feature where i don't need to chamfer the total length.

Like that idea!

@dan_szymanski, I know only chamfers are mentioned in this thread, but are fillets by close relation included in the Accepted idea? (see this request: extention limits for fillet)

@DRoam, I recognize these two features are close relatives, however to Developers they are seperate areas of code.  As such, they are tracked as seperate requests.  As such, it would be good to get some more votes attached to the aforementioned Idea.  Our bigger request in the area of Fillets is currently: Add a "Negative" radius for clearance.  Thanks! -Dan

Ok, thanks for the info!

 

In that case, for any who would like to see the same "defined length" functionality added for fillets, please consider giving a vote to this Idea: extention limits for fillet

This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2018. Special thanks to everyone who cast a vote for it.

I've discovered that you cannot pattern a partial length chamfer feature. Would patterning this feature be of value to others?

Hi @JBerns,

 

That might warrant a separate Idea since we never supported patterning for single edge chamfers.  Patterning a partial chamfer makes a lot more sense to me.  Simply my 2 cents.  Thanks.  -Dan

Chamfers can't be patterned or mirrored, but fillets can. This idea would get us on the right track to fix that inconsistency (as well as several others), and pave the way for a lot of extra powerful functionality, too: Combine the fillet and chamfer tools.

Autodesk,

 

Thanks for adding Partial Chamfers. Could you please allow the dialog box to be resized? It is inconvenient to use scroll to see all the columns. The resized column widths are reset when you next use the command.

Jerry
