Description
The Sketcher CreateFillet tool creates a fillet between two lines.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
- 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.
- If there is a previous selection it is cleared.
- The cursor changes to a white cross with with the tool icon.
- Do one of the following:
- Pick a vertex connecting two non-parallel straight lines.
- Pick two non-parallel curves (straight line, arc, arc of ellipse, arc of hyperbola, or arc of parabola) except B-splines.
Notes
- Some (conic) curves may need to be trimmed before they can be successfully be filleted.
- If a vertex connecting two non-parallel straight lines is selected the fillet radius is derived from the length of the shortest line.
- If two curves are selected the radius is the distance from the first clicked point to the (extended) intersection of the curves.
