Inventor iFeatures: Lark’s Tongue Chamfer

October 2010 Paul Munford

Autodesk Inventor has some great tools for creating Features such as Fillets, Chamfers and Holes. But what if you want to create a more complicated re-usable Feature?

If you haven’t used iFeatures before – Read this guide to how to add iFeatures to Inventor

A Lark’s Tounge iFeature

This is a variation on a Stopped chamfer Inventor iFeature. This version of a stopped chamfer has curved ends, like you might get with a router, spindle moulder or spoke shave.

The download .ZIP contains the placement help, and I’ve recorded a short video which you can see below.

I came across these iFeatures for stopped chamfers – are the downloads available somewhere still for Lark’s tongue and stopped chamfer? (seems the website is claiming “[Download not found]”

Thanks,
Nick
