Fillet radius default

Does anyone know of a way of setting the fillet radius to 0 for new drawings? By default, fillets in new drawings result in a 1mm radiussed fillet, which is irritating when designing buildings as it's too small too see at first at the sort of scales we work at, but results in jagged 'not quite straight' lines as soon as we start to snap to anything.

    Chris, you could just make your own template file.Open a new file using the template you've been using, then set fillet radius to zero (and set or paste in anything else you want, like layers, linetypes, text and dim styles) and then Save As .DWT format, in the same folder where all the other DWT files are kept. Then when you use File > New you can pick that template instead of one of the default templates.

    That's excellent, thanks :) I've re-saved the 'mm' template with the fillet radius at 0 - it hadn't occurred to me that that's where it was creeping in all the time. We do have an office template file, but I prefer to have that open as a drawing and use the drawing manager window to drag dimstyles, layers etc. into my drawing as I need them. I keep meaning to look for a feature request thread to suggest adding paperspace layouts to that list.

    Hi Chris, I keep a couple drawing files that contain nothing but a series of layout tabs. Each layout tab contains a full drawing border / title block. To make use of these predefined layouts simply right click on a tab that exists in your current drawing and choose "From Template". Bricscad will display a file selection dialog and once you select a drawing it will present a dialog with a list of all the layout templates.Hope that helps.

    It always used to happen with Chamfer distance too, don't know if it still does.I put 2 lines in my On_doc_load.lsp:(SETVAR "CHAMFERA" 0)(SETVAR "CHAMFERB" 0)The advantage is that it applies to old and imported files at time of opening. Templates etc only apply to new files.(SETVAR "FILLETRAD" 0) would do it for fillets, but it's a rare case where I would need that.
