[V8i] Circular Fillet

When you mention the "hotkey" for "7" representing "modify" as well as the tool representing "9" are you meaning the Position Mapping keys for these tools? I would assume, therefore, that the tool that is represented by the number "9" under the Modify toolbar is the "Construct Circular Fillet" tool. What sort of improvements are you recommending for this tool and how does the image relate to these. Further details would be required if an Enhancement Request is needed for any changes to this tools operations.

Yes, hotkey "7-9" is to activate the "Construct Circular Fillet" tool.

Firstly, I am not suggesting to submit an enhancement request unless there's really no good solution. Actually, as I am not the master of MicroStation so I would like to first seek what is the fastest way now for Microstation to modify the circular fillet. Deep in my heart, I'm quite desire a tool which would provide a one-click modification method (most likely impossible).

As I am not good at English presentation, let me know if you don't understand the enhancement request.

1. Set the radius
2. Set truncate
3. Point to that Arc element / Arc as sub element in complex chain
4. Left click mouse one time so as to tell program to start temporary draw mode.
5. As the above picture attached, it automatically re-trims lines which are connecting to Arc element, delete old arc element and construct new arc element. (or directly construct a new one and keep original)
6. If the modified Arc position is not correct (assume there's some complex case), right click mouse one time, until the calculated solution is right
7. Left click mouse one time, to tell the program to complete.

......

Bentley may want to reference this solution and then upgrade the circular fillet tools.

..........Am I too greedy?

And here is the explanation of Truncate (for if it is not complex element).

This issue resulted in Enhancement Request # 114197. We are continuously improving our products via regular SELECT updates, during which we implement many of the Change Requests reported by our users.

Hi Andrew, has anything been produced from this enhancement request?

Nothing in V8i SS4 that I can see and no follow up in 5 years!?!

From what I understand of the above, the request is for Modify Element…Method: Radius preserve tangents.

This is what I’m after to re-fillet a complex chain that is used to control Autoturn vehicle paths.

This was also discussed previously..

Enhancement Request # 114197 is still being evaluated by our development team. If you wanted to be notified of updates and be included as an interested party for this I would suggest raising a new Service Request which can be linked to this.

There will be no additional improvements to SS4. Bentley has moved on. They ceased SS4 development years ago, and will be discontinuing support for all V8i versions in the near future.
