To Create an Auto Round Feature
1. Click Model, click the arrow next to Round, and click Auto Round. The Auto Round tab opens.
2. Click the Scope tab and select one of the following options:
Solid Geometry—Creates an Auto Round feature on the solid geometry of the model. This is the default.
Quilt—Creates an Auto Round feature on a quilt.
 
Quilt is available only for models that contain one or more quilts. If the model has more than one quilt, creates a separate Auto Round feature for each quilt.
The Quilt collector is activated after you select Quilt. You must select a quilt from the model to be rounded. You can select only one quilt to be included in the Auto Round feature.
Selected Edges—Creates an Auto Round feature on selected edges or intent chains of the model.
3. On the Scope tab, select Convex Edges to create Auto Round features on all convex edges, or select Concave Edges to create Auto Round features on all concave edges of the model. You can also select both the options to create Auto Round features on the convex and concave edges of the model.
4. To specify the radius of curvature, type or select a value in the box adjacent to for convex edges or for concave edges.
5. To exclude certain edges from being rounded, click the Exclude tab and select the edges from the model to be excluded from the Auto Round feature.
6. To create a group of round features, click the Options tab and select the Create Group of Regular Round Features check box to set the result of the Auto Round feature to be a round group instead of an Auto Round feature.
7. Click on the Auto Round tab. The Auto-Round Player window appears and the Auto Round feature is created.
To pause the creation of the Auto Round feature, click .
Select Show each member to display each Auto Round member in the graphics window as it is being created.
To interrupt the creation of the Auto Round feature before all the edges are rounded, click Interrupt.
When you click Finish, the system completes the Auto Round feature.
 
Interrupt and Finish are available only if you pause the Auto Round feature.
If you click Interrupt before the Auto Round feature is completed, and if no changes are made to features created before the Auto Round feature, then click Model > Regenerate > Regenerate to resume the Auto Round feature from where the feature was interrupted.
If you make changes to features created before the Auto Round feature, then regeneration of the Auto Round feature starts from the beginning.
You cannot convert interrupted Auto Round features to round groups.
