Fillet Radius goes to Zero every DWG

[jimdi4]

Hello,
My first post...new to CADTutor...

I am using AC 2009 and the Fillet radius keeps going back to zero even though I save the drawing.
When I open the drawing again whala, Fillet radius is back to zero!
What causes this?

Other AC users do not experience this problem...

Welcome...
Is there anything in your Startup Suite, acaddoc.lsp file, or third party add-ons that could be causing this?

[jimdi4]

Startup Suite?..My machine is bare bones, no third part anything, no lisp routines...

Check your FILLETRAD variable.

[jimdi4]

FILLETRAD is the same thing as setting the radius in the fillet command....This didn't help either...any other ideas?

what you could do is add FILLETRAD to your acaddoc.lsp, that way it's set everytime you start AutoCAD. It would only work if you usually use the same radius though..

I'm not that good at editing lisp routines matter of fact I never did it but I did find that file you refered to....How would I add that FILLETRAD to the lisp routine to default my Radius to lets say .075?

here is my acaddoc.lsp lisp file :

;;;*-*TXT acad.lsp is loaded once, acaddoc.lsp is loaded for each
;;; document, s::startup in any case is called after acaddoc.lsp
;;; has been loaded
;
;;(if (= nil acad_helpdlg)
;; (progn
;; (load "acadr15.lsp")
;; (load (strcat (getvar "menuname") ".mnl"))
;; )
;
(if (= nil genlade)
(progn
(princ (load "gen/acadm.lsp" "\nError: acadm.lsp not loaded!"))
(if acadmappend (setq s::startup (acadmappend s::startup)))
)
)

I'm not a star at Lisp either so if I'm wrong, please someone correct me, but I would add the line (setvar "filletrad" 0.075) to the very very end of your acaddoc-file.

both my sentiments and how I would do it.

I would like to know what is resetting it though, possibly acadr15.lsp?
