Create a Fillet or Chamfer

Use the Edit > Reshape > Fillet/Chamfer command to fillet or chamfer the intersection of two straight lines/polylines, walls, or the corner(s) of a polygon element.

These commands are also available in the Standard toolbar.

For special fillet/chamfer options available with Morphs, see Basic Morph Editing: Fillet/Chamfer a Morph.

To open the Fillet/Chamfer dialog box, select the two lines, or the polygon element.

Then do one of the following:

• Choose the Edit > Reshape > Fillet/Chamfer command, or
• If the selected element is a polygon, choose the Fillet/Chamfer icon from the pet palette.

  
  
  

Choose either Fillet or Chamfer:

• Fillet joins the endpoints of two straight segments endpoints with an Arc.
• Chamfer joins the endpoints of two straight segments with a straight segment, cutting off corners.
• Enter a radius for the fillet/chamfer. (The chamfer does not have a radius, but it will be drawn as the chord of arcs of the specified radius.)
  Note: If filleting the arc with the current radius would extend any of the neighboring vertices, the radius will be limited automatically so that the filleting arc contains the closer neighboring vertex.
• Click OK.
  Note: The Fillet, Chamfer and Intersect commands are not effective on grouped elements, unless Suspend Groups is on.
