Make round/arc corners on existing shape

Vapenhandlare

Hi, 

I have my PCB design with some complex plane shapes, and I need to turn some 90 degree corners into arcs with a specific radius. When I try to do Manufacture->Drafting->Fillet, I am asked to "Pick first segment to be filled". Here comes my problem. Wherever I click on my shape, I get the following message: "No element found... pick again. Pick the first segment to be filled". I've tried almost everything I could think of: making the shape static, dynamic, changing layer, changing active class and subclass, drawing a new simple rectangular shape and trying my luck with it. The shape is not fixed, i can select it and move vertex, change properties, but making an arc instead of 90-corner is something I need help with. Did anyone experience the same problem? How to solve it?

Thank you in advance for your help!

P.S. Allegro PCB Designer v16.6 (Allegro PCB Designer (was Performance L))

  • Fillet works on lines, not shapes, hence the "No element found". You need to: either, convert the shape boundary to lines by Decomposing the shape, adding the fillets and then Composing the shape; or, use the Shape Edit Application mode, you need at least hotfix 51 / 52 installed to get the Shape Edit Application mode.
