A fillet is the 2D equivalent of a 3D blend. In Creo Elements/Direct Annotation you can fillet the common end point of two geometry elements to a specified radius. It is also possible to create a fillet at the projected intersection of two lines. Creo Elements/Direct Annotation informs you of the maximum or minimum radius allowed in the current context if the given radius is inappropriate.
To fillet the end points of two geometry elements,
1. Click Geometry and then, in the Draw group, click the arrow next to Fillet.
2. Click Create Fillets. The Create Fillet dialog box opens.
3. Enter a radius for the fillet in the Radius box.
4. Specify the geometry to fillet in one of the following ways:
◦ Click the end point common to the geometry to fillet.
◦ Click the two geometry elements that meet at the end point to fillet.
Creo Elements/Direct Annotation creates the fillet.
5. Continue specifying geometry to fillet, enter a new radius, or click to complete the operation.
To create a fillet at the projected end point of two converging lines, click the two lines. If the operation is not possible for the entered radius, Creo Elements/Direct Annotation issues a message to inform you of the smallest or largest radius that can be used.
To change the fillet radius of existing fillets,
1. Click Geometry and then, in the Draw group, click the arrow next to Fillet.
2. Click Modify Fillets. The Modify Fillet dialog box opens.
3. Enter the new radius for the fillets to be modified in the New Radius box.
4. Click a fillet to modify, define a selection box, or use the Select tool.
Creo Elements/Direct Annotation redraws the specified fillets with the new radius.
5. Continue specifying fillets to modify, enter a new radius, or click to complete the operation.
Enter a New Radius value of 0 to undo a fillet and restore the original geometry. If you created the fillet at the projected intersection point of two lines, the reset geometry produces the projected lines, not the original lines.
