Warnings (Will Robinson!!!!!)

[Tom Flyer]

I usually clean up construction lines using the fillet command with a radius of 0, and I find it annoying that a 'zero radius' warning appears after every function. I know I could also use the trim command, but filleting is faster for me. Can I turn that aggravating dialogue box off for that?

why not just delet them instead or trim to one ot trim To Point?

you get this msg every time because you are putting in a "0" amount.

 

Are you just trying to trim to construcation line togeather?

 

I am trying to make sure of what you are actully are trying to do?

fillet requires you pick two entities. so does trim, 2-entities. also, with fillet, you have to change the radius to zero.

 

seems like trim, 2 entities is easier, and zero arc radii in the database do not seem like a good practice

Love the title of this thread.

Tom,

 

You sound like an Autocad user, Mastercam will extend or trim lines when trimming 2 lines together. You do not need to use the Autocad trick of trimming 2 lines with the 0 radius command.

 

Welcome to Mastercam!

Yeah Greg, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool ACAD user too. I just found that filleting lines with a zero radius quicker. I do a ton of gauge and fixture designing around a profile of a part, and after shutting off the part level, square off all the overhangs and shorties. That point of filling the database with 0 radii has convinced me I should just force myself to use the trim command instead.

Thanks

Tom
