Michael, as usual, I cannot thank you enough. I genuinely appreciate the amount of time you have invested into tracking down the source of this problem.

Also, as usual, my workflow has now been improved. Previously, I added the "rebuild" command to my working-with-text-and-curves arsenal. I will now add "pre-fillet" to that as well.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: I will make changes to MY workflow to suit the software. That is how Moi will stay on target and not wander down the misguided path of Solidworks, etc.

Best,

Chris
