    Can you pattern fillets?

    Is it possible to pattern fillets anywhere? Specifically I would like to circular pattern them as I am modeling a lightsaber.
    Stuff i can use: AutoCAD 2010, AutoCAD Inventor 2010, Solidworks 2009, MasterCAM X2/X4, CNC's FADAL, and Hurco 3-axis CNC Mill

    As far as I know you can't pattern a fillet by itself or pattern a part will a fillet that doesn't actually fillet to another surface.

    You have to pattern either all the surfaces that the fillet is attached to. Or if you're pattern is in contact with one or two common surfaces, like a spoke around a hub, then you only need to pattern the spoke and the fillets on the spoke, you don't need to pattern the hub.
