    3d milling on fc 2.5d

    I know the name of the software gives it away a bit!, but i belive you can do simple 3d milling ops on 2.5 d. All i want to do is quite a simple 45deg slope with a 5 mm rad at the top and bottom of it where it meets the flats , can anybody help ?

    you can create a curve using the function. It'll give you several options for what type of curve you want to create, but if you are fairly good with trig you shouldn't have a problem. Once the curve is created, you can run it as a groove feature and cut your profile. I use this method quite often for the same type features.
