Fillet Generation Dialog Box

The Fillet Generation dialog box allows you to configure fillet representation mode. This dialog box appears when you click Configure for the Generate fillet option on the View tab.

It contains controls for configuring fillet generation.

Configure fillet generation

The Configure fillet generation area contains the following options:

Boundaries
Thin lines, representing the mathematical limits of the fillets.
Important: Boundaries will not be projected if they correspond to two faces which are continuous in curvature. They will be projected only if they correspond to a smooth edge which is situated between two faces whose curvature radii vary. This mode will be used automatically to represent a connection between two faces which are not joined by a fillet, no matter what option you select.
Symbolic
Original edges, projected in a direction that is normal to each corresponding surface.
Approximated original edges
Original edges, at the intersection of the two surfaces joined by the fillet.
Projected original edges
Original edges, projected on fillet surfaces in the direction of the view projection.

Note: This projection mode is equivalent to the CATIA V4 fillet projection mode.

By default, the Boundaries option is selected.

Important: The following information applies to Symbolic, Approximated Original Edges and Projected Original Edges:
  • Only those fillets for which fillet faces exist in the corresponding 3D will be shown.
  • Dimensions on such fillets are not associative.
  • Such fillets cannot inherit 3D colors. Likewise, when using generative view styles, such fillets cannot inherit the 3DInheritance view dress-up parameters (defined in Tools > Standard > generativeparameters > *.XML file, Drafting > ViewDressup > 3DInheritance).
  • Always bear in mind that those fillets representations are only a symbolical preview of the 3D.
