Table of Contents
Target layer: Polyline,
Polygon
Description: The tool will
fillet (replace with circular arcs) all corners of a
polyline or polygon with user specified distance.
Usage:
- Select the Fillet All Tool
- Press the "S" key to specify fillet
distance. The selected distance is persistent - unless the "S" key is
pressed again the specified fillet distance will be used for the next
features selected with the tool.
- Click on the polyline or polygon which you
want to fillet at all vertices.
Hot Keys :
- "S" - sets the fillet
distance
Attribute Updates: The attributes of the original polylines are
preserved.
Example:
| Before Fillet |
After Fillet |

Notes :
- The function can be used on polygon and
polylines. If the tool is used on polygons that have neighbors GAPS
will be introduced between the
neighboring polygons at the filleted vertices.
- If one of the segments connected in the
selected vertex is a circular arc the fillet will not be performed
-
If the fillet distance is larger then the length
of one of the segments connected in the selected vertex, the fillet will not
be performed.
- If the fillet is
performed on Z or M enabled polygons or polylines, the Z (M) value of the
two vertices introduced for each original vertex will be the same as the Z
(M) value of the original filleted vertex.
-
If the edited layer has a shapefile source after
the save the circular arc will be converted to straight line approximation.
