The picture shows the "ears" I add to rectangular depressions in a part so that the fillet left by the milling cutter will be removed and I can bolt a rectangular part with sharp edges into the depression.
Is there some better way to handle this problem in Creo? What do you do?
As a footnote, we used to call a depression like the one shown, a "dap." Is there a better term now in use?
Here's a possible method, you might find a better one:
(1) Do the cut with the sharp corners.
(2) Do a separate cut for the "notches". For each corner:
(a) Create a construction circle of the desired notch diameter.
(b) Make that circle tangent to both walls of the corner.
(c) Make a construction line from the center of the construction circle to the corner.
(d) Make a geometry circle, same diameter as the construction circle, center on the construction line.
(e) Make edge of geometry circle coincident with corner.
(3) Repeat for all the corners.
A bit of work, but fortunately only one dimension needed, for the initial construction circle.
