In the era before the History Based Parametric update, simplicity reigned supreme in our beloved software. A mere click on a face revealed the radius of a fillet, effortlessly providing essential measurement information. However, the winds of change swept through our digital landscape, ushering in a new era where history dictates our workflow.

With the advent of the History Based Parametric update, the once-seamless process of measuring fillet radius underwent a transformation. Gone are the days of instant gratification. Now, the face selection merely yields the ID of the fillet feature, leaving the radius shrouded in mystery.

In this altered reality, obtaining the radius requires a cumbersome process. Clicking on the ID initiates a waiting game, as the software diligently loads the necessary information. What was once a swift action has now become an exercise in patience and frustration.

The transition from immediate feedback to a delayed revelation serves as a poignant reminder of the trade-offs inherent in progress. While the History Based Parametric update undoubtedly brings its benefits, it also carries with it the burden of inconvenience for tasks once performed with ease.

As we navigate these changes, let’s not forget the great past, and may we strive for a balance between progress and effectiveness. 💙

This is the post of the week haha

I also have been frustrated by this during the winds of change. Simple click and change value is no longer an option as a peasant, I must request an appointment and consult the history overlord to ask permission to alter the dimensions necessary. Consultation also requires an appointment to gain the sensitive information contained within to reference for use elsewhere in the realm of the digital landscape.

Good point, we could display the fillet radius in the measurement panel. If you click on “edit fillet” it will edit the fillet operation, making it changing fillets a much more robust operation.

The information box at the bottom, correct?  
Just like it used to be.
