Description

Sets a radius value for fillet between two entities.

The entities could be:

  • Lines, including parallel lines
  • All vertices of a single 2D polyline; two polylines cannot be filleted
  • Rays, including parallel rays
  • Infinite lines, including parallel infinite lines
  • Arcs
Note:
  • Press and hold the Shift key when select the second entity to create a corner (radius = 0). The selected entities are extended or trimmed at the intersection point. The selected part of the entities is kept.
  • If the second entity is parallel to the first entity, the entities are connected by a semicircle. If the parallel entities are not of equal length, then the second entity is extended or trimmed when the Trim option in the Command line is set to Trim (TRIMMODE system variable = 1).
