Maximum slot width

Enter the maximum width for a slot.

Maximum slot angle

Enter the maximum slot angle.

Flap slots

Check this option to include single ended slots, such as those on the edge of a design. The tool searches for groups of three entities, of the same palette, joined end-to-end. If the angle between the first and third entity is less than that specified by Maximum slot angle and the distance between the first and third entity is less than that specified by Maximum slot width then the slot is filleted.

Lock holes

Check this option to include double ended slots, such as locking holes enclosed within a panel. The tool searches for groups of four entities, of the same palette, joined end-to-end forming a closed shape. If the angle between two opposite entities is less than that specified by Maximum slot angle and the distance between the two entities at both ends is less than that specified by Maximum slot width then the slot is filleted at both ends.

Split fillet

Check this option if you want the newly added fillet to be split into two. This option is normally used to aid plotter optimisation.
