Filleting Shape


Filleting means rounding a shape edge.
Shapes that can be filleted are lines, polylines, continuous lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, elliptical arcs, B-Splines, infinite lines and rays.
The following 3 methods can be used to fillet a shape.

To display a command parameter to be executed, click / of command parameters, or press Tab key or / key on the keyboard.

  1. Click [Fillet] on [Edit] menu.

    Trim One Shape

    No Trim
    The selected 2 shapes and their vertexes will be filleted without trimming.

    When a circle, ellipse, or closed B-Spline is selected, it will not be trimmed when filleting even though [Trim Both Shapes] or [Trim One Shape] is specified.
  3. Input a radius of filleted arcs in [Radius] box on Command Window.
