    making a fillet

    Okay, I know how to make a fillet as in

    1. click on the fillet button

    2. click the full fillet button

    3. highlight the three sides you want to connect the fillet.

    Okay, but my question is how does the software default this fillet size?

    Is this just a quick way to do a fillet for looks and there is more advanced ways to do a fillet?

    Please let me know.

    There are 101 ways to make a fillet.
    I imagine that you are talking about the default (which would be the same size you get when you initiate an extrude) - this is settable in options.

    However, we will need good pictures or a SW file to see what you are specifically talking about.

    It was my understanding that if you are planing on CNC milling a part you omit the fillet and put it in using a ball mill. From my limited use it seems that the fillet size is determined by what you had last used. The project initial fillet was set to 10mm on my computer.
