Hi friends,
I found a solution that suits me and that is not too long to implement. I share it for those interested and also for me as a reminder.
In the PartDesign Workbench, the first thing to do is to click on the Vertex of your part where you want your cut, then create a 'Local Coordinate System' with a click on the appropriate icon. Then click OK in the dialog box.
Once done, select the newly created 'Local_CS' in the tree view and click on the icon to create a Datum Plane. In the dialog box of the datum plane, change two of the 'Around x-axis', 'Around y-axis', 'Around z-axis' from 0 to 45° or -45° until your Datum Plane is 'tangent' to the Vertex. Then click OK.
Finally, select the newly created 'DatumPlane' in the tree view and use it to create a pocket. You don't have to create any sketch on the plane, you just have to click on the 'Create a pocket with the selected sketch' icon and to set the deepness of the cut. Then click OK.
Voilà !
Of course, you can set other values than 45 for the 'Around x-axis', 'Around y-axis', 'Around z-axis' angles of your Datum Plane
That's all folks

Re: Corner Cut Out
A nice challenge to train yourself the attachment options:
Attach a sketch to a corner point and two lines that start there, rotate it by 45° around the two axes each and pocket:

Re: Corner Cut Out
It never happened till now but you're right, my way of doing can cut other areas of the part.
I'll try your way.
Thanks

Re: Corner Cut Out
Greetings to the Community!
Another example of corner cutting, but dynamic according to the size of the side that can be set, without the aid of a spreadsheet, through another control sketch.
Furthermore, the sketch that determines the pocket (or cut) keeps the same dimension, set, of the side of the triangle without creating a hole in the cube.
