Any help hints is appreciate it

In autocad press F1. This brings up the help menu. Type FILLET. This will show you the help for the FILLET command. Alternatively type FILLET into autocad and see what happens (it starts the fillet command).

Fillet, arc or circle (trimmed) are all the same thing.

Can you attach the dwg of what you have completed so far?

Yes but the problem is I don't know which line to offset, I'm not sure which two lines to fillet

Ask your teacher the radius length, hand it in and say I'm done unless I know the radius.

Where? I do not see a dwg file attached here?

Are you referring to the image you attached to your first post? If so, why would I ask you to attach it again?

You need to attach a dwg file here to show that you know at least how to draw a horizontal line.

Where is your instructor?

I am confused by this CL designation.

FWIW - In the Civil world this is commonly refered to as the "Construction Center Line". It's much easier to design, and lay out a roadway during contruction if the centerline is defined along the crown of the pavement (axis of rotation). Looking at this example it appears the 2m could be a typo (scale is off) and should be 4m instead.

Maybe my sarcasm didn't come through clearly without an emoticon. I thought I know what CL meant.

lol - happens to me quite often with sarcastic comments, especially when veiled by facetiousness.

Before my initail post, I read your signature line and thought...he's a mech guy, civil is different. BTW, I began my career in mechanical and sometimes wish I had continued on that path.

We use CenterLine symbol in Inventor too.

But the MCAD world is different - we don't get 2m leeway on dimensions, 0.2mm is more usual.

CL can be that way in civil world, it didn't say CL of the pavement, it can be CL of the project alignment and the road widens from 2 lanes to 3 lanes.

sorry so our prof has made couple mistakes apparently the road width is wrong and the CL is nothing its just the letter C & L inside of each other. Thank you all for the help. If anyone has any recommendation for videos or anything to practice and become good at autocad please post I really want to become professional at it but I don’t seem to grasp it very easily!
