Apr 9, 2008 #2 Eltron Mechanical Mar 3, 2005 2,459 Have you tried a revolved cut using the pipe's temporary axis as the axis of revolution? Maybe a pic of what you are trying would help us out here. Dan http://www.eltronresearch.com Upvote 0 Downvote

Apr 9, 2008 Thread starter #3 Robbo1971 Automotive Nov 1, 2006 33 See attached photo... chamfer at top is on the outside, chamfer at the bottom is on the inside... reverses on the centre line of the pipe. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9d383fa4-326e-41ad-97e5-b3190804a9e2&file=Top_-_Rear.jpg Upvote 0 Downvote

Apr 9, 2008 #5 MadMango Mechanical May 1, 2001 6,992 I don't think a revolve-cut will work. Looks like a job for an in-context cut or an Indent feature.

Apr 9, 2008 #6 CorBlimeyLimey Mechanical Nov 5, 2003 15,292 Just using two chamfers (with the Propagation option de-selected) should be close enough? http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4a542b4a-9244-4c8f-a3ff-e2f85347fbf2&file=Chamferred_Tube.SLDPRT Upvote 0 Downvote
Apr 9, 2008 #7 TheTick Mechanical Mar 5, 2003 10,194 Spoke too soon w/o looking at picture! Sweep w/ guide curves should work. Unfortunately, explaining is difficult (probably more difficult than the actual feature). Upvote 0 Downvote
