Fillet bug in sw2004sp1

I have a fairly simple sw2004 part that I'm having trouble with filleting.
http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/3f96a35d_6793/bc/Docs/Test3.SLDPRT?BCnVku_AI9QJkW_5

There are fillets (in pink) that I tried to repeat on the opposite side, but
I get a geometry error message.
I've made the same part in sw2003sp4 and I can select all four intersections
and make this fillet, no problem.

Can anyone else repeat this?

I've had quite a number of fairly simple lofts and fillets that wouldn't
work in sw2004 but were no
problem for sw2003. So far doing some isolated small projects in sw2004,
but it seems to
be in very rough shape.

Thanks

Your "bug" is a multibody part. If you merge the two bodies, the fillet
works as you would expect.

The "merge" switch was on for the last extrude, but there is only one body
in the feature scope. You probably should have modeled half of the part
and mirrored it rather than doubling the work by using multibodies.

That method worked. I normally do machinery and fixturing, so I don't
get into these features much. I guess I'm confused about the
merge option on various features and when/why its usage is indicated (or
not).
There is no mention of "merge" in the help index and glossary.
In searching the help file, many articles contain it, but the
mentions of it are rather criptic.

Anyway, got the part made, and thanks.
