FAQ

Does the order of trimming matter in XyzPilot?

Yes. Always create all fillet arcs before trimming. Trimming changes line endpoints which can affect subsequent fillet calculations.

Full Answer

Correct order: Create all fillet arcs first, then trim all corners.

Wrong order: Create fillet, trim, create next fillet, trim — trimming changes endpoints causing subsequent fillets to be calculated from wrong positions.

XyzPilot Example

Correct: Arc/Fillet, L0, L1, R=10 → A0 Arc/Fillet, L1, L2, R=10 → A1 Arc/Fillet, L2, L3, R=10 → A2 Arc/Fillet, L3, L0, R=10 → A3 [all fillets from original lines] Trim/L0, to, A0, Start Trim/L0, to, A1, End [trim after all fillets created]
