Hi All,

This one is bothering me to no end.  What is the easiest method to take a square end say 10mm wide (square corners) and make it into a rounded end with 5mm radius?  I'm attaching a sketch.  I've tried a few arc and circle functions but no luck.  Also tried to simply fillet each square corner with 5mm radius but it throws an error.  Do I need to offset the outer line inward 5mm then draw a 5mm radius circle at the midpoint of the offset line (can't be that involved)?  Gotta be something very simple that I'm missing.  I'm trying to follow a tutorial to make an edge flange and this seems so trivial but can't figure it out.  Thanks!

Dave
