FilletDefinition Object


Description

The FilletDefinition object is used to define all of the input required for fillet features. It is also used to query and edit existing fillet features.

Methods

Name Description
AddConstantRadiusEdgeSet Method that creates a new constant radius edge set. The new FilletDefinition is returned.
AddFaceSet Method that creates a new constant radius face set used to create a face fillet. The new FilletFaceSet is returned. If a FilletFaceSet already exists in the definition, it is replaced with this new one.
AddFullRoundSet Method that creates a new full round set used to create a full round fillet. The new FilletFullRoundSet is returned. If a FilletFullRoundSet already exists in the definition, it is replaced with this new one.
AddVariableRadiusEdgeSet Method that creates a new variable radius edge set. Intermediate radii can be defined using the AddIntermediatePoint method of the FilletVariableRadiusEdgeSet object returned by this method.

Properties

Name Description
Application Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
EdgeSetCount Property that specifies the number of edge sets currently defined in the definition. This property always returns 0 if the FilletType is not kEdgeFillet.
EdgeSetItem Method that returns the specified FilletRadiusEdgeSet object from the collection. This will return either a FilletConstantRadiusEdgeSet or FilletVariableRadiusEdgeSet object.
FaceSet Property that returns the FilletConstantRadiusFaceSet object that defines the inputs used to create a face fillet. This property returns Nothing if the FilletType is not kFaceFillet.
FilletType Property that returns the type of the fillet. Possible return values are kEdgeFillet, kFaceFillet and kFullRoundFillet.
FullRoundSet property that returns the FilletFullRoundSet object that defines the inputs used to create a full round fillet. This property returns Nothing if the FilletType is not kFullRoundFillet.
Parent Property that returns the parent FilletFeature of the definition.
SetbackVertexCount Property that specifies the number of possible vertex setbacks available for the current set of edges in the definition. This property always returns 0 if the FilletType is not kEdgeFillet.
SetbackVertexItem Returns the specified FilletSetbackVertex object from the definition.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.

Samples

Name Description
Fillet Feature (Complex) This sample demonstrates creating a complex fillet. The result in this case has several different constant radii fillets and two edges that use variable radius, with one of these having a different radius defined along the edge.
