for example, the four inside corners of the gasket shown below would require four separate Fillet commands.to repeatedly use Fillet you can right-click in the drawing area & select Repeat Fillet to invoke this command from a shortcut.you are prompted to select two LINEs or ARCs to Fillet.You can only create one ARC in a single Fillet command.This setting is saved in the TRIMMODE system variable which is stored in your system registry (initial value is Mode = Trim ) Use the Trim option of Fillet and select No Trim if you do not want to change the lengths of these selected LINEs & ARCs. If Mode = Trim the lengths of LINEs & ARCs you select for Fillet are adjusted to terminate at the endpoints of the new ARC. The current Trim Mode setting is also reported as one of the current settings on the command line when you invoke Fillet. You must invoke Fillet again to use the new radius.

the current radius is stored in the FILLETRAD system variable of the current drawing & is used automatically for the next Fillet.

The Fillet command is terminated when you use the Radius option to set the new current radius.

– right-click in the drawing area to invoke a shortcut and pick Radius to change the current radius.Ĭurrent settings: Mode = TRIM, Radius = 0.7500 When you invoke Fillet the current radius is reported on the command line but you can use the Radius option to change it. for example, you can clean up corners in architectural plans if you Offset one side of a wall to create the other side.You can use a Fillet Radius of zero to force LINEs & ARCs to terminate in a corner at the point of intersection.

for example, it would be a challenge to create the shape shown below if you used ONLY the Arc command.įillet is also practical to use when LINEs meet or cross (or would meet if they were extended) in a corner to create a round corner.in many cases an ARC is easier to construct using Fillet than it is using the Arc command.Use Fillet to create a new ARC object that blends between two existing LINEs or ARCs.
