Filleting polylines

[smf]

Hi all. (all three of you)
Is it true that one cannot fillet segments from different polylines, or
fillet a polyline to a line? Acad permits it, adding the line to the
polyline as a new segment.

These comparing questions will probably end quite soon, since we are
going to use Icad as the primary drafting software. When we ditch Acad,
I'll stop comparing and whining.

But Icad should get the CLEANSCREEN from Acad 2004. That command is
really nice.

Regards, SMF

I think it can't (that is, not V5 which I am using now), never tried it
until now.

What does that do?

It removes everything but the drawing area from the screen. No buttons,
no nothing - just black with a thin gray bar at the top. Great for
impressing colleagues if you're used to typing aliases.

Thx for replying so quickly every time.

Icad 6 can fillet a polyline to a line but not to another polyline.

You're right CW, I missed that yesterday. That takes it from annoying
to the more acceptable semi-annoying.

I'm about to buy a five-pack Bricscad v6 for the office. The only thing
is that I noticed when I use EXTEND, and right click for "select all as
boundaries", Icad shuts down. It asks me polite enough if I prefer to
save changes, and then disappears.

Known bug? File not too big, but has indeed a lot of objects.

Not knowing what things are consistent across all brands, in my V6 snaps
faded and so did the ability to trim and extend. Very often a zoom in/out
would fix it but then a lisp I have used for a long time began randomly
failing (did not seem able to "see" certain random entities it uses to draw
a small circle and a line). When it failed it would crash the program. It
got tedious so I reverted to V5, with which I had practically no issues at
all. If you can still buy V5 I would suggest that until 6 is a bit better
behaved.

I'm not having the extend problem with Icad 6 (CMS version) nor am I having
the problems that jg spoke of. Difference between vendors, I guess. Each
release does get better and I'm quite confident that these problems will be
worked out.
