G2 or not G2

changedsoul — Sat, 06 Aug 2016 17:46:43 GMT

Trying to know the difderance between a normal fillet and a G2 fillet.

Autodesk defines it like so:

Edge fillets Based on selected edges. The fillets can be of constant or variable-radius, of different sizes, and of different continuity (tangent (G1) or smooth G2), all of which can be created in a single operation. All fillets and rounds created in a single operation become a single feature.

I am a bit confused as to the differance between "smooth" and "tangent".

Would not "tangent" be as smooth as you can ever get?

You could read through this thread. On page 2 that's explained with images.

Funny, I did a google search for G2 fillet, and got a bunch of results for G0, G1, G2, G3, and because I am a machinist and work with G-code all the time, and G2, and G3 happen to be circular movement commands, I assumed it was just talking about machine G-Code. hahaha.
