### Filleting

There are two possible ways to generate a fillet:

Figure 49: Characterizations of fillets

Exercise (CREATE FILLET): Generate a rectangle from 4 line segments. Now fillet two of its corners with radius= 5 using each characterization.
Solution: After generating the rectangle, click the icons for the command CREATE FILLET TBE. Now select for the two mandatory parameters ENT1 and ENT2 two converging line segments. After the filleting radius has been entered and the command has been concluded, the fillet is generated and the line segments are trimmed.

Now activate the command CREATE FILLET TOE by clicking the icon for the modifier TOE. When after this you select as mandatory parameter the two line segments that have not been filleted as yet and enter the value for the radius, these two line segments are also filleted. However, as opposed to the previous characterization TBE, only the line segment selected for ENT1 is trimmed.
