    Hi Masamasa, currently the only method I have to offer is to enable the selection of fillets using the following SKILL command:  

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("DYNTHEMALS" "SHAPES") ?onButtons list("SHAPES"))

    Once this is enabled, use the command axlSelect() now use a graphical selection to point select the fillet. The fillet gets selected and is highlighted. Some basic information can be displayed using show elements.

    A follow up check on this reveals that identical information can be displayed by pre-pressing "Display Element" which then enables the user to select fillets. 

    The angle of the fillet line can therefore be reported within the Display Element command by nominating only "Other Segs" in the Find Filter.

    Hi Masa, sorry for the delay due to the holiday and catchup period. It seems that your teardop does not report the same due to the curvature. My example had a linear shape. Currently I do not see a way to report your example. But let me discuss further with our team and I will let you know if I get any feedback.

    Hi Ethelone, I presume this is the same reason due to curvature?
