SOLIDWORKS Hack: Instant Inverse Fillets

GoEngineer Guide 1 months ago

Description

Standard fillets create rounded, convex edges in SOLIDWORKS, but what if you need a concave, inverted curvature?

Instead of setting up a plane and manually sketching a profile along a path, you can skip the sketch completely:
1️⃣Open Swept Cut
2️⃣Switch from Sketch Profile to Circular Profile
3️⃣Set your diameter and select your edge path

SOLIDWORKS automatically centers the circular cross-section directly on your selected edge! Need to add material on the internal corners instead? Use the exact same trick with Swept Boss.
