am one of those guys who grew into the business drafting on velom with lead so
CAD drawing is a little alien to me. However after saying that I have been
drafting with AutoCAD for a few years more than 3 less the 10. So I should
know what to expect form some of the basic commands, drawing in 2d not 3d.
Please don't go there that is why I got Revit. I am using Revit architectural
Suite 2009 for Vista 64 bit system. Here is what is happening; 1. Fillet and
chamfer work on a part time basis each displaying a "noncoplaner lines"
message when they don't work. One kind gentleman ask me check the DUCS to make
sure it was off and it is. It apprears to me AutoCAd is think ing the z axis
when I am drawing in the x,y axis 2. Object snap regardless of the snap
selection at times only snaps on what it wants to snap on. Probably related to
#1. These seem to be the basic command problems I am having. I would love to
be able fix them mysefl. I have looked into the self help CAD books but cannot
find anything nor am I sure where to look. So basically I depend as others for
help from the disscussion group folks or better yet Autodesk Guru's. Since I
have posted the chamfer problem previously I received some responses of having
the same problem so they used fillet instead. Unfortunately my fillet does the
same thing. Yes I feel your pain discussion group
groupies.

non coplanar objects so I don't see why they need to makea fuss when
filleting. but there you go.{size}{font} >
do not intersect, so how could they be FILLETed?

set my OSNAPZ TO 1 as recommended and typed in the FLATTEN command only to get
a response "unknown command".

(which back in the day also did not work with non-coplanar objects) trims to
the "apparent" intersection (intersection of the lines projected into the
current XY plane). A FILLET with radius set to 0 is the equivalent of a double
TRIM, so I suppose that if they wanted to bother, they could fuss with the
FILLET code to do that. But FILLET with a non-zero radius would need to draw
an arc, which would want to be in the same plane as the two lines, which does
not exist for non-coplanar objects. Again, I suppose that the arc could be
drawn in the current plane, relative to the projections of the two lines into
the current plane, with the lines then being trimmed to their apparent
intersections with the arc. But that is a lot of fussy code to glom onto
AutoCAD just to cover what is likely a drafting error that should, in my
opinion, be fixed. But you could always post this to the Wishes Discussion
Group if you feel it would be useful.

intersting especially since all of my work is on the x,y axis. Something
doesn't make a loat of sense.
