Putting On the Finishing Touches

Putting On the Finishing Touches
The inside of the tub still has some sharp corners. To round out these corners, you can use the versatile
Fillet command on the 2D Draw control panel. Fillet enables you to join lines and arcs end to
end, and it can add a radius where they join so there is a smooth transition from arc to arc or line
to line. Fillet can join two lines that don’t intersect, and it can trim two crossing lines back to their
point of intersection. Follow these steps:
1. Click the Fillet tool on the 2D Draw control panel, or type f↵. You can also choose Modify
 Fillet from the menu bar.
2. At the prompt
Current settings: Mode = TRIM, Radius = 0´-01/2
Select first object or [Undo/Polyline/Radius/Trim/Multiple]:
enter R↵, or right-click and choose Radius from the shortcut menu.
3. At the Specify fillet radius <0´-0˝>: prompt, enter 4↵. This tells AutoCAD that you
want a 4˝ radius for your fillet. Metric users should enter 10↵.
4. Pick two adjacent arcs. The fillet arc joins the two larger arcs.
5. Press ↵ again, and fillet another corner. Repeat until all four corners are filleted. Your drawing
should look like Figure 3.13.
6. Save and close the Bath file.
