Chamfer is a feature used to create a beveled edge between two surfaces, typically at a corner. It removes the sharp edge and replaces it with a flat or angled surface. Chamfers are commonly used in design to soften edges, reduce sharpness for safety, or prepare parts for assembly.
Chamfer
For example, in this example, we are using the equal distance chamfer function.
Fillet
Fillet is a feature used to create a rounded edge between two surfaces, typically at a corner or along an edge. It smooths out sharp edges by adding a curve, which can improve the appearance, reduce stress concentration, or make parts safer to handle.
Arc
The arc function in Fusion 360 is a tool used to create curved lines or sections of circles in sketches, essential for designing rounded shapes or connecting elements with smooth curves. It is located under the "Create" column.
Location of Arc
For example, if you want the half circle in the draft below, you can use the arc function to create one.
Example for arc

Radius and Diameter
In Fusion 360, the radius in the sketch begins with R while the diameter begins with ϕ.
