Fillets
A fillet is a tangent arc. To construct a fillet, you use the FILLET command.
The rule of thumb to follow is "If the arc you are drawing is tangent to both
objects it is connecting to, then use the FILLET command. If the arc is
tangent to one or neither of the objects, use the ARC command”.

If you want to insert an arc at the end of parallel lines, use the FILLET
command. Regardless of what radius is currently set, AutoCAD will draw a
tangent arc using the distance between the lines as the radius. The lines
do not have to be the same length.
Command: FILLET
Current settings: Mode = TRIM, Radius = 0.0
(Notice how the radius is set to zero. It can be any size.)
Select first object or [Polyline/Radius/Trim]: P1
(The first line you pick will retain it's original length and the second one will be trimmed or
extended.)
Select second object: P2
Command
BEFORE AFTER
2. A fillet is a tangent arc. To construct a fillet, you use the FILLET command. The rule of
thumb to follow is "If the arc you are drawing is tangent to both objects it is connecting
to, then use the FILLET command. If the arc is tangent to one or neither of the objects,
use the ARC command”.
3. Use the tan object snap mode to draw lines tangent to two circles or arcs. Make sure
you apply it on both ends of the line.
4. By setting the radius of the FILLET command to zero, the FILLET command will square
two lines to make a perfect corner.

Construction Techniques
The following steps are the construction technique suggested by the author to help you learn
how to construct objects using AutoCAD. It is only the suggested method and if you can
complete the drawing accurately using a different construct technique, that is what is important.
You may want to compare your construction technique with the authors.
Construction Hints
Do your best to complete the lab exercise drawing without
using the following hint(s). If you get stuck and can't
complete it on your own, use the following hint(s) to help
you.
Construction Objects
Hint 1
The dashed line shown in the dimensioned drawing,
indicates that the lines should be constructed tangent
to the small circle from the circles on either end of the
object. After the lines are inserted tangent to both
circles, you can then insert the fillet.

Do your best to complete the lab exercise drawing without using the following hint(s). If you get stuck and
can't complete it on your own, use the following hint(s) to help you.
Hint 1
Draw a construction line from the midpoint of the line
across the bottom of the slot 95 units in the positive
Y direction. Then draw a circle with its center at the
end of the line. See Figure Hint 1
Figure Hint 1
Hint 2
Since you don't know the exact length of the lines shown in
Figure Hint 2, draw them any length but in the correct direction.
When you insert the fillets, the line will automatically be
trimmed.
