Creating Constant Radius Fillets

Now you round some of the edges using a series of constant radius fillets.

1. Click Fillet on the Features toolbar.

2. In the PropertyManager, under Fillet Type, select Constant radius.

3. Click the edge of the grip labeled 5.

   

4. Under Items To Fillet, set Radius to 5 and select Full preview.

   A preview of the fillet appears in the graphics area.

5. Click OK .

6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to add fillets to the edges labeled 2 and 0.5. Change the radius values to match the values of the labels.

When filleted edges intersect, it is good practice to add the larger fillet first.
