Fillet an Entire Polyline
You can fillet an entire polyline or remove fillets from an entire polyline.
If you set a nonzero fillet radius, AutoCAD inserts fillet arcs at the vertex of
each polyline segment that is long enough to accommodate the fillet radius.
If two polyline line segments converge as they approach an arc segment that
separates them, AutoCAD removes the arc segment and replaces it with a
fillet arc.
If you set the fillet radius to 0, no fillet arcs are inserted. If two polyline line
segments are separated by one arc segment, AutoCAD removes that arc and
extends the lines until they intersect.
Fillet Parallel Lines
You can fillet parallel lines, xlines, and rays. AutoCAD ignores the current
fillet radius and creates an arc that is tangent to both parallel objects and
located in the plane common to both objects.
The first selected object must be a line or a ray, but the second object can be
a line, an xline, or a ray. The fillet arc connects as shown in the illustration.
