figuring corner radius

[Scott Shepherd]

I'm going to assume this number only works as long as I'm using a 45° angle

That is correct Bert, there's a different number for every angle. Don't worry, Algebra wouldn't have helped much, it's Trigonometry

Try using the trim tool:



Sorry you will need to shrink the page to see all of it..

Quick note Bert, Radius and Chamfer are different in pretty much all CAD programs (just as a note, in case you ever need to use keyboard commands)

Thanks Dave, James were is the trim tool?

Sorry Bert I am not at home. Just cheating at work and looking at the internet. I have a tool bar open at the top of my Corel Draw page that has the 'weld' 'trim' 'simplify' and as couple other tools on it.

i see it under arrange then shaping.What confuses me with this method is getting the 2 small sq's in the proper place. Kinda hit and miss doing it by eye. isn there an easy way to get them in the right spot. So far Scotts method is the easiest.

The way to find the corners of this square is to select the square. Then select 'arrange' and 'transformation'. In the transformation flyout unclick 'relative position' and click the corner that you want to find coordinates of. Select the small square and locate it on center at the coordinates of the corner. Click 'arrange' 'shaping' 'trim'. And delete the small square. Do the same with the other corner.
