[Feature Request] Highlight selected fillets when using multi-fillet tool

Perhaps it's just poor workflow, but I generally prefer to combine all my fillets into a single operation in order to keep a cleaner timeline.

 

However, whenever I need to make an edit or adjustment there doesn't seem to be a good way to know which fillet sizes were applied to which edge?

 

For example, if I have both 5mm and 5.5mm fillets in the operation and want to see which I had set a specific edge to, holding control suppresses the operation, but all fillets are highlighted with a blue line; there's no way to tell which edges are the 5mm's and which are the 5.5mm.

 

Yes, I understand I could just have multiple instances of the 'fillet' command on the timeline, but it gets messy and looks very cluttered on the timeline, especially with 15 different sized fillets.

 

Is there any way to separate out which fillets are which? I was thinking this would work better if when the user selects a size (such as the d289 in the attached picture) Fusion 360 could highlight the appropriate edges with green or a different shade of blue to indicate which of the edges are being adjusted.

That would indeed be very helpful!

Not a "must" but definitely a welcome quality of life improvement!

That's what I've done before, but it's not possible to create groups within groups. On big project files it starts to get cluttered when half the steps on the timeline are fillets 😕

in big projects we made each part of the project in " new project tab " alone then linked all together .
but yes I agree with you about fillet issue .
