Chapter 5 - 3D Sketching5.5 Working with Existing 3D Sketch Figures5.5.1 Adding Fillets‣ To add a fillet to a sketch figure:1. Select the Fillet tool from the Sketching toolbar; or from the 3D Sketchmenu select Fillet. The Fillet Figures dialog box appears.2. Select the first figure by clicking it.

Click Close to close the Fillet Figures dialog box.5.6 Dimensioning 3D Sketch FiguresTo fully define the 3D sketch you must place dimensions on sketch figures. 3D sketchdimensions function similar to 2D sketch dimensions. It is not required to dimensionsketches before they are used to create features. In addition, sketch dimensions caneasily be changed and modified at any time.132
