    Default Automated fillet?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Say I have line which is to represent a flexible pipe of some kind. When I draw it and want to put in a 90 degree turn I would need to use fillet to make the bend look realistic. Is there some way I can automate this "on the fly" so I won't need to go over several hundred bends and do this?

    if you draw it using PLINE (polyline) rather than LINE you can fillet the entire length in one go. Type FILLET P then select your line.

    If you have already drawn using LINE, use the PEDIT command to change one element into a PLINE and JOIN the rest first.

    Ah, sexellent Thx dbroada! As long as I got you here, do you know if it's possible to select several hot-grips (so that they turn red) at once by draging a square around them? So tedious to select them one after the other...
