Filleting / chamfering is available for the following elements in EPLAN:

• The corner of two radiating lines
• The corner between a line and a polyline
• The corner between two polylines
• The corners of polylines (open and closed)
• Rectangles.

Precondition:

You have opened a project. You have opened an editor such as the graphical editor, the plot frame editor, etc.

Fillet corners

Use the Fillet command to fillet enclosed angles of less than 180°. Angles between open lines cannot be filleted i.e. lines cannot be connected via the filleting function.

1. Select the following commands: Tab Edit > Command group Graphic > Fillet.
2. Click on the corner to be filleted.
3. Specify the fillet radius by moving the mouse and left-clicking as soon as the required value is reached.
   
   The corner is correspondingly filleted.
4. Click on the next corner to be filleted with the same fillet radius.
   
   The corner is automatically filleted with the previously defined fillet radius.
5. End the action via the Cancel action popup menu item or via the [Esc] button.

Chamfer corners

You can use the Chamfer command to chamfer the corners of different elements symmetrically. This functionality can be used on enclosed angles which are less than 180°. In this case the original lines are shortened symmetrically by a value (the so-called chamfer width) which is measured from the angle point.

1. Select the following commands: Tab Edit > Command group Graphic > Chamfer.
2. Click on the corner to be chamfered.
3. Specify the chamfer width by moving the mouse and left-clicking as soon as the required value is reached.
   
   The corner is correspondingly chamfered.
4. Click on the next corner to be chamfered with the same chamfer width.
   
   The corner is automatically chamfered with the previously defined chamfer width.
5. End the action via the Cancel action popup menu item or via the [Esc] button.
