    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I'm new to AutoCAD, I want to know how to draw a cube with all the edges rounded. I have draw square, then filleted the edges and then extruded the square. I now have a cube with rounded edges on the top and bottom but not the sides. Could any one please help??

    It's done using the Fillet command with the Chain option. This allows you to select several edges with one pick provided the edges are tangent to one another.

    Just to add to the answer, what ReMark is saying is that after you extrude your cube you can again use the fillet command on the non-filleted edges.
