Fillet from defined width?

Hi,

I have this model that I want to fillet. The fillet you can see here has radius = 1 mm. But I want the fillet to be as wide as the blue line (which in this case is 1 mm, too). How can I make MoI to fillet to that defined width?

Hi 3image, sorry fillets are defined by their radius and not by a projected length like you want. You might try a different method of drawing a line across your shape at that spot and then trimming it there, then using Construct > Blend to put in a rounded part rather than using fillet.

Hi 3image, or maybe there's some possibility to create an arc using the Arc Tangent command and then find the desired radius from that arc. If you can post the 3DM model file I'll see if that might work.
