Can't fillet ellipse and line or circle.

I want to fillet ellipse and line, but I can't.

correct. This is a current limitation of sketch fillet. It is on the roadmap, but to be honest, is pretty low priority at the moment. You can do your own fillet by creating an arc, trimming the ellipse and the line or arc, and creating tangent constraints.

Hi @Nkose

Thanks for posting. As @jeff.strater said you can't fillet the ellipse and a line by fillet command, you need to do it manually. I've created a screencast video for you so that you can understand how to make it manually.

Thank you very much. I did.

You really need to be careful trimming an ellipse because as soon as you trim it you can not constraint or add useful dimensions so it can move unpredictably. You are far better off not trimming in the sketch, just draw your lines across the ellipse, extrude then fillet the solid. This advice is pretty much how you should try and work unless you really need a sketch fillet.

So either add the fillets to the sketch without trimming or better still add the fillets as a feature.

I did trim here just for good understandings. I also mentioned that in the screencast that it should be kept defined.

Love the part about on the roadmap but with "low prority." I learned CAD on Autocad R.14 in 1998. Autodesk couldn't fillet ellipses back then, either. So this capability has had at least *22 years* of "low priority," LOL. And that's one of the many reasons most CAD buyers have routinely given purchasing Autodesk's software "low priority" for an entire generation.

Why not figure this out?
