9 Press ENTER to end the command.
All construction lines have been inserted, and the contour can be
generated.
Save your file.
Creating Contours and Applying Fillets
Now, you connect the two tangential circles with the right part of the rectangle,
to build a filleted triangle.
To create and edit a contour
1 Start the Polyline command. On the command line, enter PLINE.
2 Create the contour by responding to the prompts as follows:
Specify start point: Specify the intersection point (1)
Specify next point or [Arc/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]:
Specify next point (2)
Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]:
Enter A, press ENTER
Specify endpoint of arc or
[Angle/CEnter/CLose/Direction/Halfwidth/Line/ Radius/Second
pt/Undo/Width]: Specify next point (3)
Specify endpoint of arc or
[Angle/CEnter/CLose/Direction/Halfwidth/Line/ Radius/Second
pt/Undo/Width]: Enter L, press ENTER
Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]:
