3. 1. introduction
Fillet/Round creates a rounded internal or external face on
the part. You can fillet all edges of a face, selected sets of
faces, selected edges, or edge loops.

4. 2. Creating Fillets
To create a fillet:
1.Click Fillet (Features toolbar)
or Insert > Features > Fillet/Round.
2.Set the Property Manager options.
For constant radius fillets only, you can use the Fillet
Xpert to add or modify fillets and to manage fillet corners.

5. 3. FILLET TYPE
• Constant Radius Fillets
Creates fillets that have a constant radius for the entire
length of the fillet.

6. …
• Variable Radius Fillets
Creates a fillet with variable radii values. Use control points
to help define the fillet.

7. …
• Face Fillets
Blends non-adjacent, non-continuous faces.

8. …
• Full Round Fillets
Creates fillets that are tangent to three adjacent faces sets
(with one or more faces tangent).

9. 4. Recommendations for fillets
• In general, it is best to follow these rules when
making fillets:add larger fillets before smaller ones.
When several fillets converge at a vertex, create
the larger fillets first.
• Add drafts before fillets. If you are creating a
molded or cast part with many filleted edges and
drafted surfaces, in most cases you should add
the draft features before the fillets.

10. …
• Save cosmetic fillets for last. Try to add cosmetic
fillets after most other geometry is in place. If you
add them earlier, it takes longer to rebuild the part.
• To enable a part to rebuild more rapidly, use a
single fillet operation to treat several edges that
require equal radius fillets. However, if you change
the radius of that fillet, all the fillets created in the
same operation change
