Tip of the Week 7/21/03

 
How many times have you started the fillet command and had to set the fillet radius and then perform the fillet?

Here's a shortcut in PostalCAD that lets you do that same scenario without having to issue the command line options and multiple returns to change and use the fillet command.
- Enter FS (shortcut for Fillet Set) at the command line and you will be prompted for the radius.
- Enter the needed radius and issue a return.
- You will then be automatically entered into the typical fillet command prompts for selecting your objects.

This sequence is a lot more intuitive than the way AutoCAD has you do it.  Fillet away.

Remember that for every four steps that are reduced to two, you are doing half the work in twice the time!
