panfield Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi All Please find attached a drawing that I am trying to fillet with a 2mm radius on the outside edge. Unfortunately, I keep getting the unable to fillet message. Any ideas? Drawing3.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'd say that a 2mm radius is too large for the object, the walls are only 2mm thick, I had no trouble with a .5 or 1 mm fillet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panfield Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks for the reply. Yes 1mm worked fine. Can't work out the maths to find out why 2mm won't work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I don't know the technical explanation for why a 2mm won't work other than it's too big of a radius. the edge of the fillet would be past the edge if the object.... hopefully someone can give us a more technical explanation..

mugshot Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 ...i dont know the idea but in your case it seems that the fillet adjacent lines is not equal to the radius u like to use.... if you are using 2 lines... e.g. 1.5 x 5.. fillet using 2Ø, there will be an error on the 1.5 side(expect) u must use a radius of >=1.5, exceeding from it, you'll end up with error or comment.
