I am trying to create a Fillet on an edge, I am a beginner, but I’ve done this many times before using the Chamfer/Fillet tool. The Chamfer tool works just fine, both directions, but the Fillet isn’t doing anything, nothing at all. Even when I type in the measurement it doesn’t do anything. HELP!
Fillets are the single most frustrating thing for me. Here are a few things that have helped. The fillet line is likely made of several connecting edges, try picking them all vs picking 1 or 2 edges.
If you can get a small fillet (eg. .5mm) by dragging the arrow before it fails, that is good. Accept the wrong fillet and then go to history and change it there (1mm), sometimes it works. Also, it is weird but change from .5mm to .6mm to .7mm to .8mm in small increments to reach your goal of 1mm.
A sketch is made up of several lines, the intersection of those lines appear as lines on the body, try deleting those on the body before you try the fillet. It is weird but sometimes it works.
Keep trying different combinations and don’t give up easily.
