Fillet Corners

Extend the remaining vertical line as shown.

Add 1 mm fillets to the outside corners.
The top view is almost complete. You still need to change the hidden silhouette edges of the holes
to a dashed linetype.
To change the linetype of the four vertical lines, you will override the linetype property currently
assigned to the lines. As you remember, you can select the objects and then use either the Properties
palette or the Properties panel to specify the required linetype.
Change linetypes
1
Select the four vertical silhoutte edges of the holes.
2
Click Menu Browser
➤

➤
Properties.
Notice that because you selected more than one object, only the common properties are listed.
3
On the Properties palette, click Linetype. Click the arrow and, from the list, click
ACAD_ISO02W100.
4
Click Linetype Scale. Type 0.3 for the new linetype scale and press ENTER.
5
Move your cursor off the Properties palette and press ESC to clear the selection.
The four lines are now displayed with a dashed linetype.
NOTE
Instead of changing the linetype of the four lines individually, you could have created a new
layer for hidden lines. The linetype property of that layer could then be set to ACAD _ISO02W100.
Then, to change the linetype of the four lines, you would change the layer assignment of the lines to
the new layer.
