    How do I create a concave fillet in SW2006?

    Ex. A box. When i fillet one edge, it creates a convex fillet. I
    want it to be concave instead.

    Thanks,
    samurai.

    Hi,

    Create a sketch profile of the box perimeter. Then create a second
    sketch of an arc (radius of your concave fillet). The use the feature
    cut-sweep.

    There may be a better way?

    Can this be done without using a sketch/cut sweep? I wanted to use
    the Fillet command.

    If there was a 'flip direction' for the fillet command, that would be
    great.

    Anyone know how to do this with the Fillet Command?

    If you are working with surfaces you can pick which side of the each surface
    you want the fillet to be on.

    I don't understand your original question, as a concave fillet on a box
    doesn't make any sense to me.
