Description

The Sketcher CreateFillet tool creates a fillet between two non-parallel edges. introduced in version 0.22: The tool can also create a chamfer.

introduced in version 0.22: If two straight edges connected by a Coincident constraint are filleted or chamfered, the corner point can optionally be preserved by adding a Point object that has a Point onto object constraint with both edges. Constraints connected to the corner point are then transferred to the new point object.

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

  1. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Create fillet button.
    • Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create fillet option from the menu.
    • Right-click in the 3D view and select the Create fillet option from the context 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 current tool mode icon.
  4. The Fillet/Chamfer parameters section (introduced in version 0.22) is added at the top of the Sketcher Dialog.
  5. Optionally press the U key or uncheck the Preserve corner checkbox to disable that option. introduced in version 0.22
  6. Optionally press the M key or select from the dropdown list in the parameters section to change the tool mode:
    • Fillet
    • Chamfer
  7. Do one of the following:
  8. The fillet or chamfer is created, including a point object in case of a preserved corner. For a chamfer a construction geometry arc is also created.
  9. This tool always runs in continue mode: optionally keep selecting points and/or edges.
  10. To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.

Notes

  • The construction geometry arc of a chamfer is not visible outside the sketch. It cannot be deleted without breaking the geometry of the chamfer.
  • 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.
