Beginner Question: fillet and angles of lines

Anonymous — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 10:11:38 GMT

I have a very simple question (started with AutoCAD yesterday):

how can I exactly redraw this part shown in the attached fig?

I do not want to calculate the length of the lines using trigonometric functions and then use the fillet function with a radius of 2.5. this would not be accurate.

How can I get the 45° degree line and 2.5 radius fillets without knowing the length of the 45° line and only the points where the bending of the corner starts?

one way is to layout with construction lines, three lines and the arc, fillet, offset and mirror

you'll get others

If you use CIRCLES where the FILLETS/arcs will be, it's easier to visualize and construct.
