Hi All,
I am editing a Cut2D drawing that has fillets of several different radii. Is there a function that allows me to click on a fillet and determine what its radius is? I know I could draw some perpendicular lines and experiment with fillets until I find the correct radius, but here must be a better way than that.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Re: How to determine radius of a fillet
Use the Measure/Inspect tool. Turn on the Radio Button for Span/Contour Properties. Click on your radius and it will give you the measurement.

Gerry already answered your specific question describing one way to find the radius, but you may enjoy learning about all the dimension tools for future projects. The following tutorial video does cover the method for finding the radius of a fillet, of course, but there are so many other dimensioning tips that can be extremely useful! Here is the link:

Re: How to determine radius of a fillet
Thanks gents!
That did the trick! Interestingly, I have never used that tool before. Thanks for pointing me to it.
I'll be sure to check the video tutorials more often, too.

Ken
