SOLIDWORKS 2017 Convert an existing Chamfer to a Fillet & back again!

Using the “Offset Face” or “Face-Face” chamfer options within SOLIDWORKS 2017, grants us an additional ability! We can now swap back and forth between a fillet and a chamfer if needed! To do this right-click on either the “Offset Face” or “Face-Face” Chamfer.

Step 1: RMB-Click on the “Offset Face” chamfer (or fillet)

And select Convert Chamfer to Fillet from the shortcut menu

Step 2: Convert Chamfer to Fillet

Then choose the Feature Type (Fillet or Chamfer) and select the “OK” checkmark to complete the change.

Step 3: Choose the Feature Type

As shown in the figure below the chamfer has now been changed into a fillet, and could be converted back again if required.

Change Complete!
