Description

The Sketcher CreateFillet tool creates a fillet between two non-parallel edges.

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

  1. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Sketch fillet button.
    • Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create fillet option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: G then F, then F.
  2. If there is a previous selection it is cleared. The tool does not accept a pre-selection.
  3. The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
  4. Do one of the following:
  5. This tool always runs in continue mode: optionally keep selecting points and/or edges.
  6. To finish, click in an empty area in the 3D view, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.

Notes

  • Some (conic) curves may need to be trimmed before they can be filleted.
  • If a coincident constraint connecting two non-parallel straight edges is selected, the fillet radius is derived from the length of the shortest edge.
  • If two edges are selected the radius is the distance from the first clicked point to the (extended) intersection of the edges.
