    Default Fillet command is it Tangential?

    Hi.

    I'm working on some road alignments and need to be accurate so just checking.

    When using the fillet command does it alway return the same result as Circle and TTR?

    I dont know how its programmed to produce the end result.

    Many Thanks

    I have never had bad results from the FILLET command. Always tangental, thats what its for. The only problem would be clicking the lines in the wrong spots. Whoops! UNDO!

    my experience is that fillet works far better than circle and ttr because normally for me the ttr does not produce line endpoints that line up correctly. When using the fillet command the lines are actually joined as plines..

    Whichever way you choose, make these edits while the geometry is near 0,0 - not way out in state plane coordinates (or any large coordinate system where the X or Y is in the millions of units)

    Many thanks for the info. I couldn't see how fillet could work without being tangential but thought I'd better check.
