Fillet radius to polyline

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to put a FILLET radius in a polyline? (2D dwg)
e.g. a straight line crosses a radius, both lines trimmed off, turned into a polyline and joined using PEDIT.
When I try to put a FILLET radius between the straight line and the original radius, the command line quotes;
`Cannot fillet polyline arc segements'
It would be very helpful if I could, any suggestions please?

Fillet the arc and lines before turning the lines into a pline.

Thanks Matt, but if I have an existing complex profile that requires a modification, it's a pain to explode the polyline, add the fillet radius, then go around selecting dozens of lines to PEDIT them back together again.

I agree.

Hit radius icon > R > ENTER > Type radius eg. 50 > ENTER > left click on both sides of both polyline where you want radius to appear

SIMPLE AS THAT...No time wasted P editing!!!

FILLETRAD

50

FILLET

pick two objects to fillet

Or automate by modifying your FILLET macro on the screen to always prompt you for a radius:

^C^C_FILLETRAD;\_FILLET

Hi Dean,

I tried your macro and it worked except it wants to repeate the last radius used. Is there a way to have it prompt for a radius as soon as I enter "F" rather than having to go though hitting the down arrow and selecting radius?

Only if you want to buy full AutoCAD and rewrite the macro as a Lisp routine.

If you just want the macro to constantly repeat until you cancel it deliberately, modify it with a star at the beginning, like this:

*^C^C_FILLETRAD;\_FILLET

Then either hit <enter> to accept the default radius presented and keep clicking lines to fillet.

Try to shortcut FILLETRAD command (FR for example), then you can invoke FR when you need it but continue with F for as long as that one setting is valid. Of course I'm not sure that's any faster than just typing through the FILLET command.

Thanks for the info Dean. As slow as my typing is any keystroke I can avoid saves time
