may need to load the file to the ftp site or email it to someone.. kinda hard to see exactly what you got going on there with out zooming in on it.. HTH

[Rick Henrickson 65]

it is probably just the order you are trying to create it in or your fillet options

[Hardmill]

Have you tried picking the edge rather than face to face ??

 

 

PEACE

+1 hardmill that will do it

[Camdude®]

also check to see if you will lose any edges as the fillet blends, it looks like you will lose the outer edge of the part (top left corner)when the fillet generates. in these situations i have exported model to Solidworks generated the blend there and then imported back to MCAM.

Cheater!

 

Create a toolbody for the button, fillet that, then booleen remove.

Make your diamond shaped body larger to fit the fillet you are trying to create around the bosses, create them. Then, extrude, cut, the diamond shape body to its' normal size.

Does the radius of the Boss match the Radius of the Diamond? If the radius of the diamond is just a little bigger of they are not on the same center then you will have probem as well. Edge would be your best bet, but what has been suggested to make it the chop off what you do not need will work just as good.

 

Steve did you get my email?
