FILLET

The FILLET command is similar to CHAMFER, except the FILLET command creates a round instead of an angle.

• Step 24. Use the FILLET command to edit the back of the rectangle to create the symbol of a chair (Figure 3-9), as described next:

  

  Figure 3-9 Use FILLET to create the chair symbol

  Prompt	Response
  Type a command:	Fillet (or type F <Enter>)
  Current settings: Mode = TRIM, Radius = 0′-0″
  Select first object or [Undo Polyline Radius Trim Multiple]:	Type R <Enter>
  Specify fillet radius <0′-0″>:	Type 12 <Enter>
  Select first object or [Undo Polyline Radius Trim Multiple]:	Type T <Enter>
  Enter Trim mode option [Trim No trim]<Trim>:	Type T <Enter> (verify Trim option)
  Select first object or [Undo Polyline Radius Trim Multiple]:	P1→ (Figure 3-9)
  Select second object or shift-select to apply corner or [Radius]:	P2→
  Type a command:	<Enter> (repeat Fillet)
  Current settings: Mode = TRIM, Radius = 1′-0″
  Select first object or [Undo Polyline Radius Trim Multiple]:	P3→
  Select second object or Shift-select to apply corner or [Radius]:	P4→

  The Polyline option of Fillet automatically fillets an entire continuous polyline with one click. Remember to set the fillet radius first.

  Fillet will also fillet two circles, two arcs, a line and a circle, a line and an arc, or a circle and an arc.

• Step 25. Use the commands OFFSET, TRIM, EXTEND, and FILLET to complete the shape of the chair, as shown in Figure 3-10.

  Note

  When using TRIM, you can invoke the EXTEND command by holding down the space bar as you select objects. For more on EXTEND, see Chapter 6.
