dshall Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 You have just drawn a rectangle. You want to fillet a corner, you activate the fillet tool, you start moving the corner in..... you hit the tab key because you want input the start of the beginning of the curve 12" from corner..... how do you do this? This is the dumbest most unintuitive method of defining the start of the curve for a fillet. CA, can't you re design the tab inputs? Seriously, I want to start the curve/fillet 12" from the corner, why can't I use the tab/input keys? Try it guys, it is dumb and useless, CA please fix this. I sent this into Brian as a request.

kMoquin Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Try this method: https://youtu.be/srAzW4JklSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Scott, Click on an edge of the Polyline Click the Fillet Icon on the Edit Toolbar and then click on it again to set the radius Click on an adjacent edge Note, once you've set the radius it you can just select the Fillet Tool and select 2 adjacent edges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Try this method: https://youtu.be/srAzW4JklSI Thanks Kevin, that helped. Yes I can do it that way. However I do prefer to set distance with the tab key.... but your method ain't half bad. BTW, if you spent less money buying golf balls for nit wits like me, you could invest the money in a video system with sound. Thx again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never find the stupid icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleChief Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Strange, Vid works perfect here. Anyway try this. Grab the corner, hold down the 'F' key, move the corner, press the tab key, enter x/y values, bang, filet. Hope that helps Wonder why you can't see the vid. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if tab and I move it 12" left and 12" up, the radius is 3'-5", I would of thought it would be 12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleChief Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Didn't check the actual radius I too just figured it would be 12". Weird - and not in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleChief Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I can'r find a way to get to a 12" radius using the 'F' key filet tool, only the filet tool on the tool bar actually works, which is of course the reason for your first post. Can't explain it but I agree, it ain't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebdesign Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Is there any way to have all corners of a rectangular polyline to fillet all at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Yes, there's an Edit Toolbar button that apperas once you select the PLine and the Fillet Icon. It has an "A" in it for All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Is there any way to have all corners of a rectangular polyline to fillet all at once? Not at my computer right now, but yes… This was a feature added with X7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebdesign Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 thanks Joe. when I do that, all the handles disappear on the polyline. WTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Just click outside the PLine. The handles are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LevisL Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 That is what I do. But if tab and I move it 12" left and 12" up, the radius is 3'-5", I would of thought it would be 12". Didn't check the actual radius I too just figured it would be 12". Weird - and not in a good way. Filleting the corner this way just moves the corner handle 12" each way, which is why you get the 3'-5" radius. Not saying it's right. Just explains the results you're seeing. It would be nice if we could assign a hotkey for fillet radius, as you mentioned Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Another way... Get into Fillet Edit mode. Select the polyline or whatever you want to fillet. Get into the Fillet command by shortcut, menu, toolbar or whatever. At this stage you can use a hot key or the Set Fillet Radius icon on the Edit toolbar to set the fillet radius. Click exactly in the corner you want to fillet. http://screencast.com/t/m5ZUVcFyT1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
