Vagulus Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I am still wrestling with the problem of finding start points. In this Exercise (6.119 from Giesecke F.E., Mitchell A., Spencer H.C., Hill I.L., Dygdon J.T., & Novak J.E. (2014). Technical Drawing. Upper Saddle River (NJ) USA: Prentice Hall p.214) I laid out the underside of the item first. Aside from Extension 18 which is a repair, I think this is okay but I will appreciate constructive criticism. BTW: can someone tell me why this edge refuses to fillet?

ecshclark Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Try filleting the inside corners first, then apply the rounds on the outside edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagulus Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Try filleting the inside corners first, then apply the rounds on the outside edges. I tried all sorts of combinations, but in the end it appears that even Inventor gives up and I had to make one of the fillets at half the radius. Inventor says the calculations are too complex, and I can believe them. Patternmakers have some putty-like stuff for situations like that! Thanks for the advice.
