JOHNMCLANE Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hello, i am using autocad 2017, and i need to create a countersink. I would like to know if it is possible in autocad 2017, i couldn't find the tools that would allow me to do so. I tried chamfering but it is not giving the desired results. The holes where i need countersinks are the holes in the middle. http://i.picpar.com/HoPb.png Do i need to acquire inventor or another autodesk program designed for this purpose. Thank you.

SLW210 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Chamfer should do it, are you watching the command line as you chamfer? Can you post the actual .dwg file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNMCLANE Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yes i can My aim is to make a very particular countersink with a specific angle and a specific length. Can it be done with this level of precision? Thank you Drawing3.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 You could always create a half profile of what you need, revolve it then subtract from your 3D model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Welcome to CADTutor. As per SLW and ReMark, there are different ways it can be done, and yes, you can definitely do it with Autocad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 John: A quick example (entirely a figment of my imagination of course). I think you are smart enough to grasp the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
