Chamfer and Fillet

[debenriver]

Hi Eric

Is it possible to improve the directional action of chamfer and fillet??

For example, as shown below, if I drag from A to B, I get a fillet from C to B:

In this example, of the four options, only a drag from B to C or A to D produces a fillet where I want it

The only way to ensure that the fillet is where I drag is to cut the two lines first like this and then I get the filet where I want it:

It's the same for chamfers.

I realize it's to do with the directions the lines are drawn in – so in the example, if I drew the lines from left to right and top to bottom, the dragging A to B produces a fillet from A to B – and B to C produces a fillet from B to C but the other two options don't work!

I don't remember this being a problem in earlier versions????

Bonjour George,

Yes theoretically, the chamfer or the fillet must be on the side of the red line.
And you are right, it is not the case.
I think that it is a new bug...
Thanks, I will it.

Cordialement.

OK George, I will post shortly a new beta to fix this problem.

A workaround is to draw the (red) line in attraction on the ends.

Right – yes that works. And if you turn "Display Attraction names" on, it works from the centre/middle as well.

But on boat drawings, lines tend to be rather long – often a line drawn parallel to the centreline or datum waterline to construct other things, so the ends and even the centres are often a long way away! So cutting the lines is an easier option.

But it will be nice when you can fix it properly

Cheers -- George

Thanks Eric – makes life a lot easier!
