Fillet and Tapered ... AKA Teardrops

Hi All,

Is there any online documentation or can anyone here help me identify what these menu options do?

    One suggestion is to click the Help button in the form which should take you to the documentation which explains the options in the form. 

    There are a couple of cool images in the docs that help describe the different options in the form as well.

    mcatramb91 Thank you for the information. I will check out the image that you provided. I have tried to use the help button in the past, however, I keep getting errors. Here is an example of the error I get when I press any help buttons:

    Perhaps if this error would not keep occurring I would not get so frustrated. There is a lack of documentation for OrCAD products online.

    Hi,

    It should work.  Maybe the documentation index needs to be generated or re-generated.  Try going into the main documentation. Help > Documentation, this should generate the index if it does not exist.

    Another alternative is to access the HTML Documentation directly where the software is installed.

    C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\doc\cmdrefmast\cmdrefmast.html (NOTE: C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2 is the default location for the software install)

    This will open up the Command Reference, Select G and then GLOSS PARAM FILLET to jump to the information about the form.

    I don't want to leave you totally stranded in case this does not work so I attached a PDF of the help section for GLOSS PARAM FILLET

    0640.GLOSS_PARAM_FILLET.pdf

    Hope this helps,
    Mike Catrambone

    Mike,

    Thank you for the pdf. I very much appreciate it. I have tried to use the Help > Documentation link previously and it also gives the same error and never generates an index. I will be calling customer service for assistance today to get this issue with help to be resolved. Thank you for the idea to bypass help altogether. I will try it if I get no joy from customer service.

    Again, thanks for your help. Have happy and safe holidays.
