Hello. In other apps it is very easy to create Chamfer with Variable Round Corner and Straight Transition. But seems it is impossible to create the same thng in SpaceClaim.
I can create Chamfer, add Round Corner, enable "Edit as Variable Radius" and set one radius to 0. But now there is no any option to turn off Smooth transition. I can't believe that sutch a simple and basic thing not available in SpaceClaim. Any ideas?

Hi Gerry, 

Let me check this and get back to you.

Seems i almost figure how make it. If i click to inner corner magenta dot and change value from 100% to 0%, variable radius lines became straight. Next i can drag inner corner arrow near that dot, press Space key and and enter value 0.

But problem partially remains because it is impossible simply enter radius value of round corner that will match to exact chamfer size. So i must guess it. For example if Chamfer size is 2mm, and if i enter round corner 2mm raduis – it feels too small. For 2mm Chamfer i need to enter corner radius something like 4.2mm.

I guess it could be mush easier if it was an simple option to apply Blended Miter Corner for Chamfer.

Hi Gerry,

You can use the approach of moving the lower magenta colour dot from 100% to 0%. I will see if there's any simple option to apply straight transition.
