Sometimes I have a problem with the Fillet Feature. Occasionally, with your cursor in the graphics area, when you roll your mouse wheel it
changes the value of the Radius.I have noticed this happening at times even without the radius value being highlighted.
Usually you notice it because the fillet fails, due to it being too big, but sometimes you can change the size without noticing. This has obvious problems. Has anyone had this issue, and is there anything that can be done about it?
thanks
The only suggestion that I can think to make is to make the spin box increments really large (assuming you never use the spin box increments....which I never do).
Maybe something like 5in. That would get you noticing right away!
thanks Dan, that's a good idea.

I would vote if I could but I am off sub. so I can't,
I NEVER use the spin box - always the wrong increments for what I want to do and I over or under shoot - just so much easier to input the correct value and be done with it
Hey Julian,
It's something you get used to and watch out for. Make sure the dimension box is not selected when you're adding filets.
The change from wheel scroll happens when you hover over the featuremanager and the dimension is selected.
This will change if you hover of the featuremanager:
This will not change no matter what.
Hopefully this helps.

I find I do not get used to it and really feel it should be an option. It causes errors.

Well, it should be an option indeed, what I meant was that until it becomes an option it will be something to get used to and watch out for Kind of like the many other work arounds we all have to make sure something bad doesn't happen.
I voted on the E.R., it was escalated to SPR so that's a good thing.
Alex
Thanks for your vote. Voting seems to make a real difference.

Welcome to the forum. The only thing I know of is to be careful that the value in the spin box isn't highlighted when rolling your mouse wheel. With that being said, I've been using the software daily for almost 9 years, and it still gets me sometimes too.
