How to Use SolidWorks Fillet Constant Radius Tool

In the Fillet property manager, you can find “Constant radius” option, which is used to create round edge or corners with constant radius. You cannot have any control over the fillet radius. The radius is constant throughout the edges.

Step-1

First Create a Model using Extrude Boss/Base or combination of different features and sketch toolbars. I also created model for showing the filleting process example using rectangle sketch and extrude boss.

Step-3

Then “Fillet property manager” will appear on the Solidworks user-interface and select “Constant Radius” as fillet type. Select the any one of the edge by clicking on it.

In “Items to Fillet” section, enter the Fillet radius (say Fillet radius =15 mm in this example). If you select the Full preview or partial preview, the yellow lines shows the way of filleting the selected edges.
