For Pro-E, creating a round / fillet and selecting the conic option is probably the easiest method and the results will be close, but I would like to replicate the method in Pro-E similar to the method previously used in SolidWorks. The “delete face” tool in SolidWorks is useful for removing the face of a tangent fillet (C1) so that it can be replaced with a curvature continuous (C2) fillet. The technique of using a “Boundary Surface” was discussed in the previous posting, but how is this done in Pro-E as no exact equivalent exists for the “delete face” tool?

When modeling a part in SolidWorks, there are specific situations where a curvature continuous (C2) fillet is desired, but a double hold-line fillet or the “atomic bomb” fillet (split line, delete face, and fill surface) is unable to be created. The delima is how to create these fillets using as few features in the model tree as possible.
