Fillet for edge cuts

Layout
1

Hi Everyone,
Kicad 8.0.5-dirty running on Linux Debian

  • In PCB editor I select edge cuts layer
  • Using Drag-Right-to-Left, I select 2 segments of an already drawn edge cut. Segments become highlighted.
  • I position cursor over one of the segments and right click and get a pop-up window of options to select.
  • Unlike the video I found here on the forum in a post, I do have fillet as an option in the pop-up window.
  • I have found many posts on the Net for doing this but they all refer to “select fillet” without any key/mouse operation info.

How is this done, please?

Many thanks,
xkicad

By any chance was this in the 8.99 feature thread? This is a new in-development feature and will be in v9 that is due to be released in February 2025

Edit…
Was it this post by any chance

Hi Naib,
Thank you for responding.

Oh boy, I made a TYPO in my original post where I said I DO have fillet option. My Bad. I should have said I DO NOT have fillet option.

Here is the post I was referring to:

Thank you Naib,

You nailed it!

I was using Click-and-Drag-from-Right-To-Left.
It certainly SEEMED to select both segments, but the Shape Modification choice from Right-clicking only had Heal Shapes as a sub-option.

Based on your post, I tried Click-and-Release on one segment then Shift-Click-and-Release on the other segment.
Then I get the 4 choices that you showed in your post.

Thank you sooo much.

Best to You,
xkicad
