    Default Plines and the fillet command.

    Example #1
    You have a Pline with a width and fillet it with a Line, the line will join the Pline and take on all of the Pline properties including the width.

    Example #2
    You have a Pline with a width and fillet it with a Pline of a different width, the Pline will join the other Pline, and will take on all of the Pline properties with the exception of the width.

    Is there a reason for the behavior where in Example #2 where the Pline has two different widths after being joined? The outcome I am looking for is for the Pline and Pline to act like Example #1 in the end.

    Hi

    Is just standard AutoCAD behaviour (as far as I know you can not control to act like "Example #1").

    Have a good one, Mike

    Just adding in here:

    Is there a system variable which controls whether or not a line filleted to a pline takes on the width of the pline.

    Pre 2012, you would fillet a line into pline and the line would take on the width set for the polyline.
    This no longer happens for me. I'd like to change it back, but I see that video on how they've improved pline functionality. I'm worried that the old behaviour is lost.

    For when you need it add an extra fillet command with (command "fillet") as the macro and it will fillet the old way.

    I had the same problem. I use a lot of plines with width, and this one was bugging me for months... I created a small lisp and configured Autocad to load it at startup. Its something like this:

    (defun C:ff()
    (command "fillet")
    )

    Just type ff to run the old fashioned Fillet command.

    Thanks a lot
