Making arcs in board outline

TH Designs

 Ok, what is the trick to making a radiused corner on a board outline? I have a board outline with right angle corners. I edited the outline to have chamfered corners and now want them to be arcs. I select that section of the chamfer and right click, but there is no option to change the chamfer to an arc. (this is the way it was done in Layout...........)

Please don't tell me I have to generate the outline externally and import it...............

    You need a Fillet, you might not be able to add one of you already have a chamfer. Options will be Radius of Fillet

    Thanks OM. Couldn't find the "fillet" command, but your response prompted a thought.

     I selected "Line" and one of the options for a line is "arc" next to Line Lock (whatever that means). Selecting arc, I was then able to draw an arc from one intersection of the chamfer to the other. Then I deleted the chamfer segment. Seems to work.

    If you added a Chamfer, you either used Dimension, editing a Symbol, or Manufacture>Drafting, editing a board. Chamfer and Fillet are together there.

     aahh, I did the chamfer the old fashioned way, I put it in manually while drawing my board outline. I was not aware that there was an automated way to put one in.
