Sometimes, while filleting, you can see that corners
resulting from the operation are not satisfactory.
The new capability "Blend Corners" lets you quickly reshape these
corners. |
 |
Open the
BlendCorner1.CATPart document. |
 |
-
Click Edge Fillet
and fillet the edges as shown using 5mm as the radius value.

-
Taking a closer look at the corner, you can
notice that the edges need to be rounded again.
-
After launching the Edge Fillet dialog box to
edit the fillet, click More>> to access additional check boxes.
-
Click Blend corner(s) to detect
the corner to reshape. In our example, only one corner is detected.
The application shows it in the geometry area (3D text).
|
 |
-
When the application detects several corners, it is not
possible to reshape just a few of them:
all of them will be edited.
-
The setback distance field
determines for each edge a free area measured from the vertex along the
edge.
In this area, the system adds material so as to improve the corner shape.
|
|
-
Type a value in the setback distance field.
For example 13.
-
Click Preview to examine the result.
-
To edit the distance for the top edge, click "13" and type
"22" as the new value in the Setback distance field.
-
Repeat the operation for the edge below using the same
distance value


-
Click OK to confirm the operation. The corner
is reshaped.
