Fillet a polyline doesn't cooperate

[MartinBlomberg]

Hi,

I must have forgotten something important because I can't fillet these polylines' edges.

Am I stupid or am I missing something? File for download below.

 

Thanks!

The fillet tool has a VERY small value (13) in this file.  It is filleting, but not discernible except at huge zoom where the graphics are, um, confusing.

 

And, one of the internal polylines is not closed.  That open corner does not fillet, until closed.

I never knew you could do this! Edit a Polyline's 'history'. Although it only seems to let you do so much before locking you out... Good to know though - thank you!

Thanks! It still doesn't work on my end. I've set the object to "Closed" and connected all lines.

I've also changed the fillet radius to several different sizes (I even tried that before without any success).

 

I must be missing something really obvious here...

When double clicking on the shape with the fillet tool, the radius can't be larger than half the distance of the smallest side.

And for some reason, this shape shows in OIP as closed, but there is still one side that appears to not be closed.

@DBruhnke That made sense! Now it works! Thanks!!

@MartinBlomberg Glad there was a solution.

Have had this issue in the past where one corner is actually made up of 2 points so close together that it appears as a single handle.

Have had to clip the poly into pieces to troubleshoot the offending side.

Keep clipping to smaller and smaller pieces until the culprit is found.

Yes, Command [ on a Mac. I use it all the time. Something everyone should know how to do!

Well I know Cmd-[ is the shortcut to edit all sorts of things, just never knew Polylines was one of them!

The container/perimeter object OIP can show Closed even when the internal polys are not closed. Apply that Cmd[ shortcut to access/edit the internals.
