AutoCAD Tip: Resfit

Some of AutoCAD commands that deal with solid modeling reveal a hidden option called RESFIT. For example, enter an invalid response to the Fillet command:

Select an edge or [Chain/Radius]: asdf

*Invalid selection*

Expects a point or Edge/Chain/Radius/RESFIT

Select an edge or [Chain/Radius]: resfit

< 0.001000000000000>:

Resfit is short for "resolution fit." ACIS uses it as the fit tolerance value when approximating curves and surfaces.

Older AutoCAD versions (than 2007) do not display this option but RESFIT still works there (2006, 2005, 2004).

Thx alot for the tip..I've been using ACAD since a long time but never come accross this..its really useful mate..

Generally, it is NOT a good idea to change any of the ACIS tolerances - RESABS, RESFIT, RESNOR. Do so at your own risk.
